Kerala HC directs Kochi Corporation to complete rectification work on S.A. Road within four months

The Kerala High Court on Friday (September 18, 2026) directed the Kochi Corporation to complete the rectification work on the 3.10-km stretch of Sahodaran Ayyappan Road (S.A. Road) from the Vyttila metro station to Manorama Junction within four months.

The Corporation informed the Division Bench of Chief Justice Soumen Sen and Justice V.M. Syam Kumar that the estimate for the work had been revised from ₹10 crore to ₹12.55 crore, as the initially sanctioned amount would not be sufficient to proceed with the work. The court said there was no justification for delaying the work due to a revised estimate that had not been communicated earlier.
