The Supreme Court today decided to appoint former Delhi High Court Chief Justice A P Shah to head a committee which has been deliberating on broad guidelines for protection of good Samaritans rendering assistance to accident victims.
The apex court also decided to include two retired IPS officers-- D R Karthikeyan and B L Vohra -- in the panel which will also suggest measures to provide timely help to road mishap victims in view of growing number of such causalities on the highways also.
A bench, comprising chief justice P Sathasivam and justice Ranjan Gogoi, said justice Shah will replace retired judge of the Delhi High Court V S Agrawal who has expressed his inability due to personal reasons to continue with the panel.
The committee headed by justice Agrawal had already filed an interim report.
The bench said the new members will go through the inerim report and other aspects for filing the final report.
The committee will also take into consideration various reports filed by state-owned expert departments on road safety, it said.
