Allahabad HC flags unregulated AC sleeper buses after Noida accident

The Allahabad High Court has raised serious concerns over AC sleeper buses operating without proper safety checks following a deadly accident in Noida. Justice Saurabh Shyam Shamshery noted that bus staff lacked adequate training and that prescribed standards were not being verified before permits were issued. The court directed state officials to submit an affidavit by October 13, 2026, disclosing the number of sleeper bus permits granted in Uttar Pradesh over the past three years. Officials must also clarify whether safety standards were properly assessed before those permits were approved. The order highlights systemic gaps in the regulation of sleeper bus services across the state.
