Gauhati HC Admits PIL On Restriction Of Vehicles On Governor's Road 1/18/2009 A division bench of Gauhati High Court has directed the Manipur government advocate to take necessary instructions from the government in connection with a PIL filed against the imposition of curfew-like situation along the Governor’s Road in the capital. Further, the division bench, comprising Justices T Nandakumar Singh and Mutum Binoy Kumar Singh, directed to list the matter after two weeks at motion stage for further consideration. The above direction was passed in regard to the PIL filed on January 14 by three individuals -- Narengbam Inaocha Singh, Beishamayum Rohinikumar Singh and Shri Saikhom Jugol Singh. They alleged that the Manipur police personnel had imposed a ban on parking of vehicles along the Governor’s road from 1600 hours till early morning of the next day, without issuing any public notification or order. Even pedestrians were not allowed on Governor’s road during this time of the day. The petitioners challenged the ban on parking of vehicles and imposition of curfew-like situation saying it was illegal and also caused hardship to civilians. The ban was imposed following a grenade attack at Raj Bhavan on December 21 last. UNI
