Jodhpur, Oct. 15 -- The Rajasthan high court on Monday directed the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA), the nodal agency, to construct the entire road from Jaipur International Airport to Haldighati Road in accordance with the Master Plan, stating that actions such as road realignment undermine public confidence and the concept of planned urban development as enshrined in the Master Plan. The division bench of acting chief justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma and justice Sanjeet Purohit, while disposing of a PIL filed by the Ajay Marg Nirman Sangharsh Samiti, directed the JDA to take steps to immediately remove all encroachments on the original road alignment in coordination with the Rajasthan Housing Board (RHB). Necessary assistance will be sought from the police department to expedite the removal of obstructions to the proposed infrastructure as per the Master Plan. "The State Government shall oversee the implementation of these directions, ensuring adherence to the Master Development Plan 2025 guidelines on road widening, land use, and public transportation corridors, and submit a detailed compliance report to this court within three months from the date of this order, including progress on geotagging and execution of designated roads as per the approved sector plans," the bench said. The petitioner argued that as per Master Plan for the Pratap Nagar Housing Board Scheme, there is a provision of a 100-feet-wide road connecting the road adjacent to Sanganer Airport (Jaipur International Airport) to Haldighati Road. It was proposed to reduce traffic on the main Tonk Road, but due to several encroachments in the area, the road is not being constructed, and in several places, encroachments have been made on the road itself, reducing its original width of 100 feet. The road was to be constructed and maintained by the JDA and RHB. "...We noticed that several illegal colonies have cropped up in the vicinity of this road, and some of them have, during the pendency of this case, even been regularized without seeking any sanction from the court. The actions primarily smack of arbitrariness, flouting the principles of equality enshrined under Article 14 of the Constitution. It violates the very basis of State action, which has to be non-arbitrary and non-partisan," the bench said. "...We do not find any reason to allow changes to the original Master Plan. We are of the firm view that realignments cause chaos, disrupt planned urban growth, and encourage further encroachments."...
