2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M. Kumar, ACJ.
This petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India prays for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to restrain the taxi/tour operators who use private cars as Limousine Taxi by modifying/altering its body structure un-authorisedly, without sanction from the requisite authority and in violation of the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act thereby causing not only danger to the life of the persons who are travelling in the said vehicles but also to the public at large; further to take necessary stringent and preventive steps like impounding of vehicles, cancellation of registration certificates and CWP No. 7835 of 2012 2 imposition of fine as per the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988; and further directing the respondents to take similar action against all other unauthorized modifications/alterations done by the commercial vehicles. In this regard the petitioner has already made a complaint dated 15.02.2012 (P-10), however, no action is stated to have been taken.
Without going into the merits of the case, we deem it just and appropriate to direct respondents to take cognizance of the complaint dated
