Court asks State govt. to pay ₹5 lakh to Subasri’s family
‘Recover it from officials who didn’t act against flex boards’
14/09/2019, MOHAMED IMRANULLAH S.,CHENNAI
A day after 22-year-old R. Subasri was run over by a water tanker at Pallikaranai in Chennai after an illegal flex board fell on her while she was riding her two-wheeler, the Madras High Court on Friday directed the State government to pay interim compensation of ₹5 lakh to her family. Subasri was the only child of her parents.
Justices M. Sathyanarayanan and N. Seshasayee ordered that the money be recovered from the government officials who failed to prevent AIADMK functionary C. Jayagopal from erecting flex boards on the Pallavaram-Thoraipakkam radial road for his son’s marriage.
Action against officials
The judges ordered that appropriate action be initiated against Corporation as well as police officials who turned a blind eye to the erection of the flex boards by the ruling party functionary without obtaining permission from the local body and the traffic police.
The judges took cognisance of the woman’s death while hearing a contempt of court plea filed by activist ‘Traffic’ K.R. Ramaswamy earlier this year.
