The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday disposed of a PIL seeking directions to the state authorities to install additional sign boards, information boards at conspicuous places and at the places which are prone to accidents in the state highways, district highways and inter village connectivity roads of Bidar district.

A division bench of Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice C M Poonacha disposed of the petition filed by one Gurunath Vadde. The petitioner's counsel argued that due to insufficient signages, there are multiple road accidents.

The plea contended that the petitioner made a representation to the authorities back in October 2024 but, they have not acted upon it and thus he moved the high court.

The bench on going through the averments in the petition said, “We do not consider it necessary to issue any directions, as sought for by the petitioner. However, the concerned authorities shall consider the contents of the present petition as petitioner's representation and take such steps as they may consider necessary.
