Smart cards carry only temporary address, says association
The Madras High Court on Monday sought the response of the State government to a writ petition filed by South India Driving School Owners Federation complaining about new driving licences, issued in the form of smart cards, containing the address of driving schools and not that of the licence holders.
When the case was listed for admission, Justice D. Krishna Kumar ordered notices to the Transport Secretary as well as Transport Commissioner returnable by four weeks. In its affidavit, the federation said the applications for driving licences require applicants to fill their permanent as well as temporary address.
Temporary address
Most of the applicants fill their residential address in the column meant for mentioning the permanent address and the address of the driving schools in the column meant for temporary address. However, the smart cards issued to them contain only the temporary address which invariably happen to be the address of driving schools, it said.
“I state that incorporating the driving school address as the address of the licence holder is improper and incorrect. In the event of any untoward incident, the owners of driving schools have to face the situation,” S. Devadoss Gandhi, joint secretary of the federation, said and claimed that the officials failed to rectify the anomaly despite several requests.
