Scrap driving licences of those who can’t read: HC
Jaipur/New Delhi:29.05.2019
Observing that an illiterate person is “virtually a menace for pedestrians” on the road, a single bench of the Rajasthan high court has directed the state government to withdraw driving licenses given to persons who can’t read signboards, warning signs and other signals.
The court has directed the transport authorities to issue appropriate instructions, lay down guidelines and take action in cases where licenses were issued to persons unable to read and write.
TOI has a copy of the court order. While dismissing the writ petition of one Deepak Singh, who requested the court to direct the transport department to issue him a driving licence for a heavy motor vehicle (HMV) though he was illiterate, Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma said, “In the opinion of the court, Motor Vehicle Rules are required to be framed not only for the benefit of persons who seek licenses but must also take into consideration the public who are using the roads.” TNN
