The Calcutta High Court ...

The Calcutta High Court has recently dismissed a PIL which had alleged that e-rickshaws are running in the Howrah district in the State of West Bengal without being registered in terms of provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.

According to the Counsel for the Petitioner the work orders have been issued to the husband of the Pradhan violating the procedure and the rules and the money has been misappropriated.

While considering the PIL, the Calcutta High Court bench observed that the allegation which has been made in respect of entering the name of as many as 947 persons in the register of Unani practitioners without having any requisite qualification needs to be enquired into.

Calcutta High Court passed this order while hearing a suo motu case registered by the Court taking note of the factual situation that a person of Nepali origin was arrested in 1980, and had remained in detention for almost 41 years without conclusion of trial, awaiting the report of appropriate authority.

Calcutta High Court directed the Counsel for the Eastern Railway to hand over a copy thereof to counsel for the petitioner and “it will be open to the counsel for the petitioner to point out by filing the appropriate material to show if all such steps have been taken on the spot”, said the Court.
