November 5, 2019

“Don’t put interests of school bus operators forward,” said a bench of Justices Satyaranjan Dharmadhikari and Riyaz Chagla. It heard a 2016 PIL by PTA United Forum that alleged safety of children was being compromised as rules to issue permits for school buses were not strictly enforced.
