The Chhattisgarh High Court, in a suo motu PIL, strongly criticized police for their lenient response to a viral incident where a businessman’s son held a birthday celebration on a Raipur highway, blocking traffic. Offenders were fined only ₹2,000, which the court called ineffective for the wealthy. Citing provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Motor Vehicles Act, and National Highways Act, the court stressed that such road stunts endanger public safety and must be addressed with strict, uniform enforcement, regardless of social status, to prevent lawlessness.
