JUDGMENT
Ramachandran Nair, J.
The prayer in the writ petition is for a
direction to the police and motor vehicle
authorities not to permit autorickshaws without
city permit to pick up passengers within city
limits under the pre-paid scheme. The Government
has filed a statement denying the allegations and
stating that only autorickshaws with city permits
will be allowed to operate in the area wherefrom
pre-paid autorickshaws are allowed to operate.
We take on record the statement furnished by the
Government. This writ petition is disposed of
directing the respondents to ensure that no
autorickshaw without city permit is permitted to
operate in the city limit, that is, for taking
WPC17077/09 -:2:-
passengers under the pre-paid scheme. If there
is violation, it is for the petitioner to bring
to the notice of the police or motor vehicle
authorities to take appropriate action for permit
violation.
