    SC gives guidelines for those who help people in road accidents
    Credits:
  • The SC endorsed the Centre's proposal to defend Good Samaritans, who assist those hurt in road accidents, from being needlessly harassed by the police or any other authority.

    The SC directed the central government to give broad publicity to these guidelines.

    The move came so that people don't shy away from helping those in distress for the fear of being victimised by the authorities.

    Ministry seeks SC help to lay road safety guidelines
    Credits:
  • The Road Transport Ministry had said in a statement that because of the absence of any 'statutory backing' it was difficult to maintain road safety.

    The Ministry had, therefore, approached the SC to issue guidelines on road safety.

    The guidelines would be binding on all states and Union Territories until a law would be enacted by the Centre to this effect.

    The governments were also asked to evolve a protocol for identification of black spots.

    Moreover, the court ruled that the disclosure of personal information by the good samaritans or offering to be a witness to an accident would be completely voluntary.
