Most of the city’s footpaths remain inaccessible as they are either illegally occupied, damaged or obstructed by unauthorised parking of vehicles.The denial of access to the footpaths amounts to a violation of the fundamental rights under the Right to Life and the Right to Freedom of Movement guaranteed by the Constitution, the Supreme Court recently held.The Division Bench of Justices P.S. Narasimha and Atul S. Chandurkar recently held that the right to walk on demarcated footpaths was a primary entitlement and should be prioritised over movement by motor vehicles.
