HC upholds order to carry originaldriving licenseBy Our Staff Reporter

The Madras High Court hasupheld the decision of the Stategovernment to make itmandatory for drivers to carrytheir original driving licenseswhile driving.

The first bench of ChiefJustice Indira Banerjee andJustice M. Sundar also upheldthe validity of the Aug. 24 orderof the ADGP (AdditionalDirector-General of Police,State Traffic Planning Cell)giving effect to the decision ofthe government.

While dismissing a pleamoved by All India Confe-deration of Goods VehicleOwners’ Association, the benchsaid “A policy decision takenby government authoritieswith a view to checking motoraccidents caused by rash andnegligent driving by unau-thorised persons ought not tobe interfered with in a so-calledpublic interest litigation,”.

However, the bench clarifiedthat accidental omission tocarry original license mightattract penalty or fine but notpenal provisions or incar-

ceration.Only persons driving without

a valid license would suffer suchpenal punishment, the benchadded.

According to the petitioner,drivers of goods vehicles cannotbe prosecuted for not carryingtheir driving licences. The samemight, if required, be producedbefore the authority concernedlater.

The Motor Vehicles Act andRules do not contemplateprosecution of a person whocarries duly attested truecopies of the documents whiledriving, the association said.

To this, the bench said, “Theact and rules make it

absolutely clear that no personcan drive a motor vehicleunless a driving licence is issuedto him. When demanded, thenecessary documents relatingto registration, insurance andother connected papers shouldbe produced to the authorityalong with the driving licence.”

It further said, “A driver maynot be in possession of alicence, inter alia, if he has madeit over to the authoritiesconcerned for renewal orotherwise or has applied for aduplicate on the loss of theoriginal, in which case, he maycarry the official receipts andauthenticated photocopieswhen he is driving.”

The other members of the team are Sundaram Ramasamy(Story), Vijay Shankar (Music) and Thangaraj (Editor).

The theme behind ‘Stamp Album’ is that each stamp has ahistory behind it.

The story hovers around 9-year-old Rajappa, who startscollecting stamps as a hobby. He painstakingly works oncreating concept-based stamp albums and becomes popularin his village. When one of his friends also starts collectingstamps and betters him, it leads to jealousy and enmity andRajappa’s popularity also starts to dwindle putting him undermental stress.

How Rajappa overcomes the situation and restores thefriendship forms the remaining part of the story.

Sivakumar also won National and International awards forhis debut short film ‘Aayeeshaa’ in 2001. It was screened at theInternational Children Film Festival held in Hyderabad in2001.

MY PARKER 51 GOLD CAP PENWhen I joined the Presidency College way back in 1950

I was attracted by the gold cap pen that our Englishlecturer, the beautiful Sharada Nair, used to carry andflaunt on her desk. The Parker with its gold cap used togleam holding us enthralled.

What I had was a dull “Black Bird”, but this marvel usedto attract my attention and I pestered my mother that Itoo must have a Parker Gold Cap. She took a month to getfather’s assent from Nairobi since, in those snail mail days,there was no network or Facebook. So, a month after herletter crossed the Arabian Sea to Nairobi where father wasan officer working for the British government, the ParkerGold Cap materialized! I felt on top of Everest and on levelwith Sharada Nair, pen wise!

It was my first lesson that there is nothing that cannotbe realized if you try for it. The Parker 51 and I becameinseparable and wherever I went, like Mary’s little lamb,it also went with me.

I sought the help of Gem & Co, the Madras penologist, tomake it self-filling as the suction technology had trickled inby then.

I am writing this pen-history in its 66th year. It had failedme only once when, its black ink having run dry, I attendedthe IPS interview without it at Presidency College, carryinga substitute pen. The interviewers asked me to jump intothe Marina sea where Amma now sleeps! That was abenevolent miss, because you cannot imagine a more non-policing person than good old Sadanand.

The pen will last as long as I do and I want to hand it overas an heirloom to my son Devanand who will use it for ahundred years before he leaves it to his son to carry on theParker Empire.

Sharada Nair, my inspirational English lecturer, is nowthe Managing Director of Parker Pen Company in heaven,having shifted there four years ago. She was as beautifula person as her Parker 51 Gold Cap was. Her tea-tycoonson Prabhat told me when he was in Chennai last year thatshe had died in her home in Assam. She was a great soul.Lakshmi and I had, some years back, visited her home inAssam where her medical doctor husband ran, in his sparetime, a large tea factory. We saw a herd of rhinoceroses intheir habitat. On the trip back from Assam to Calcutta wewent by air, our first flight! It was really a memorable trip.

Thank you, Parker, which I will leave to my son who isan ad man and his wife Monisha who deciphers myhieroglyphics and sends off the stuff to Anna NagarTimes through a laptop.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORGovt. callous to RTI applicants

Sir, I sought certain details from the PublicInformation Officer, Zone 10, Greater ChennaiCorporation under the Right to InformationAct, 2005 (RTI), vide letter dated July 17,2017.

While a reply to a RTI letter should comewithin 30 days, since I did not get any replyeven after appealing to the Appellate Officer,that is the Zonal Officer, Zone 10, I sent a mailto the Commissioner, Greater Chennai Corpo-ration, on Sept.7, attaching the letter datedJuly 17.

The mail to the Commissioner had its effectin that I received a reply on Oct. 15. The replywas sent by the PIO in a cover under ordinarypost, affixing postal stamps of Rs. 5. Since thestamp value was insufficient, the Postal De-partment charged an additional Rs. 10 from mefor delivering the letter.

I could have refused to accept the letter, butaccepted it by paying the due.

From the above, I infer the following: 1. The reluctance of the Corporation to send

replies to the RTI letters which is tantamountto showing disregard for the RTI Act.

2. How can the Corporation send replies tothe RTI under ordinary post? It just showsthat its officers are either not in favour of RTIor are not serious about its implications.

3. Even if it so, how can the Corporation sendletters without affixing the correct value ofpostal stamps? With so many letters beingreceived and dispatched daily, does its staff notknow what value of stamp to affix, or is thefinancial condition of the Corporation so ap-palling. In that case, how does it meet itsmonthly commitment to its staff? V. S.Jayaraman, 31, Motilal Street, T. Nagar

Unauthorised slums in 10th Avenue hinder residents

Sir, We are residents of Kala Flats in 10th

Avenue, Ashok Nagar. Opposite our apart-ment complex there are 21 unauthorised hutsoccupying the 80-ft road for the past 18 years.They are a hindrance to us and the public ingeneral. They have occupied 50% of the car-riageway of the road.

In this connection, we have made severalrepresentations at all levels in Chennai Corpo-ration to point out that this encroachment isillegal and should be evicted. Mambalam Timeshad also published this 4 years back, but noaction has been initiated till date.

After our continued efforts with the Collector(Chennai District), he called for a report fromTashildar (Mambalam Taluk). He has repliedin writing that the encroachments come underporomboke land and the 21 houses have en-

croached illegally. The slum dwellers are caus-ing a lot of nuisance apart from living in unhy-gienic conditions. Some dwellers also repairautos and 2-wheelers createing noise pollutionthrough horn testing and racing of engines.They wash and bathe in the open and have alsoconverted the location into an open urinal.They play games and gamble outside our apart-ment complex while some sleep on the plat-form. Many are also engaged in peddling con-traband. To add to our woes, they also dumpdaily cooking waste and household garbage inthe storm water drains.

18 years is a very long wait for the aggrievedresidents and I hope our prayers are answeredat the earliest and the slums are cleared andthe inmates relocated. Kala Flat ResidentsAssociation, 10th Avenue, Ashok Nagar

Mobile tower rental fraudSir, I was moved by the fate which befell the

resident of Ashok Nagar who lost Rs.71,000 inthe mobile tower rental fraud as was publishedlast week in Mambalam Times.

Under no stretch of imagination can I fathomhow the resident paid so much money withoutchecking the antecedents of the representa-tives of the so called cell phone company.

Even if one decides to lease out a space forerecting a cell phone tower or whatever, it is forthe lessee to meet all the expenditure towardsregistration and documentation charges.

Even considering that the lessee persuadesthe lessor to foot the expenditure, how can thelatter go ahead without getting any tokenadvance, given the whopping rental value?

Why did he make the payment instead oftelling the representatives that he be paid therental advance after deducting the initial ex-penses? It appears that the resident was at-tracted by the huge lease amount and ac-cepted all conditions and was taken for a ride. V. S. Jayaraman, 31, Motilal Street, T.Nagar

Smart card distribution cannot be completed by Dec. 15Sir, A press release by the Tamilnadu Gov-

ernment stated that the distribution of smartration cards to cardholders will be completedby Dec. 15, and that those who have not re-ceived the smart ration cards should approachthe Civil Supplies Department with the neces-sary documents. While many cardholders have not received thecards, those who have received cards withincorrect details, are still awaiting receipt ofthe corrected ones.

There are others who have been told to fill upthe forms again with photographs forprocessing. In such a scenario, where the smartcards are yet to be received by all cardholders,how can the department state that the job is

completed?What is the guarantee that the

remaining cards it proposes to distribute byDec.15, will be error-free? The governmentcannot rest on its laurels when it completesthe distribution of smart cards as the job hasnot been done with perfection. Since it will takeyears for the department to redress the inad-equacies in the smart cards, and the govern-ment cannot deny supply to those who havenot received the same, one can safely say thatthe conventional ration card will remain inforce. This will mean that the department willhave no option but to provide a separate sheetto attach to the paper card for the ensuingyear. K. Harihar, T. Nagar
