Issuing a notice to the transport department of Delhi government, a division bench of acting Chief Justice AK Sikri and justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw sought their response by March 7 on a PIL of Nyay Bhoomi, an organisation representing auto drivers, through its president Lt Col BB Sharan.

According to the petition, for smooth traffic movement on the 5.7 km bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor between Ambedkar Nagar and the Moolchand flyover, the government should not restrain vehicles other than buses, and non-motorised vehicles such as bicycles and cycle rickshaws on the bus lane.
