The decision by Minister of Communities, Ronald Bulkan, who earlier this year approved the By-Laws for metered parking in the city, was yesterday declared null and void by the High Court.
In his ruling, Justice Nareshwar Harnanan noted the Minister’s failure in following the procedure mandated by the Municipal and District Councils Act, for bringing the By-Laws into force.
In the circumstances, the judge made absolute, an order previously issued to Bulkan, directing him to show cause why his decision to approve the Parking Meter By-Laws, should not be quashed.
