ORDER IAs Nos. 275-77 1. Right from 10-12-1997, this Court has been monitoring erection of hoardings in Municipal Corporation of Delhi, New Delhi Municipal Council and National Capital Territory of Delhi areas. The first order of this Court in this connection was passed as far back as on 10-12-19971, wherein it was observed that safety of road users was paramount and that hazardous hoardings which constituted disturbance of safe traffic movement need to be obliterated so that frequent accidents do not take place endangering the lives of common citizens. With that object in mind, this Court, in the first instance, invoked Article 32 read with Article 142 of the Constitution, as indicated in its order reported in M.C. Mehta v. Union of India2. 2. This Court appointed Bhure Lal Committee to look into the problem as the Court felt that certain guidelines were required to be laid down for civic authorities, transport authorities, Delhi Development Authority, etc. Identification and removal of all hoardings, which are hazardous had to be done systematically and, for that purpose, Bhure' Lal Committee was appointed. We find from the records placed before us that the Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority ("EPCA", for short), has till date, submitted two important reports of July 2008 and November 2009, which need to be considered by Municipal Corporation of Delhi ("MCD", for short) and the New Delhi Municipal Council ("the Council", for short) in accordance with law. 3. Having heard the learned counsel appearing for the amicus curiae as well as for MCD, we are of the• view that MCD should consider EPCA Reports of July 2008 and November 2009, along with the Delhi Outdoor Advertisement Policy of 2008, in accordance with the provisions of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957 ("the 1957 Act", for short), in the meeting to be convened by the Corporation under the provisions of Chapter V of the 1957 Act.
