The power of all the state governments and Union Territories to grant permission for erecting statues or construction of any structure at public places, which obstructs traffic movement, has been restrained by the Supreme Court.
The order, however would not apply for installation of structures like street lights which facilitate smooth traffic movement. The order was passed by a bench comprising justices RM Lodha and SJ Mukhopadhaya while dealing with an application filed against the Kerala government for granting permission for the erection of a statue of a leader at a particular point on a national highway.
The application against the Kerala government was filed in the pending petition in which the Supreme Court had already directed all the state governments to remove unauthorized constructions including places of worships from roads and public places. The order however, shall also apply to all other states and Union Territories.
