The Bombay High Court has called for Indian citizens to develop a stronger sense of civic responsibility and adhere to traffic rules, comparing their behavior to that of citizens in developed countries. Justice Jitendra Jain made these remarks during a ruling that increased compensation for the family of a man who died after being struck by a bus while crossing the road. The court noted that many Indians follow traffic rules abroad but often neglect them at home, emphasizing the importance of setting a good example for children. The court also pointed out that both pedestrians and drivers must be vigilant in following traffic signals to prevent accidents. In this case, the compensation awarded to the victim's family was raised from ₹13 lakh (approximately $15,600 USD) to ₹15 lakh (approximately $18,000 USD) due to the circumstances surrounding the accident, which involved a man suffering from Parkinson's disease and partial paralysis.
