A Division Bench of the Court comprising Justice Pradeep Nandrajog and Justice Manmohan Singh sought the suggestions while hearing petitions seeking opening up the corridor for traffic other than buses on the dedicated stretch to unburden the overburdened carriageway along it and opposing it by the Delhi Government.
