Holding

The Court held that the impugned Legal Notice has not been implemented, and thus, the Court has the jurisdiction to suspend the further operation of the Regulations.

Facts

The applicants sought a stay of the implementation of Regulations enhancing safety during night travel, arguing that the impugned Legal Notice has been implemented and that the matter is sub judice.

Issues

  1. Whether the impugned Legal Notice has been implemented
  2. Whether the stay of the proceedings is appropriate given the ongoing implementation of the Regulations

Reasoning

The Court granted the stay of the impugned Legal Notice.
