It is a serious issue. You are duty bound to act on the issue. If someone dies, he cannot claim insurances,&#8221; the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>The petition filed by social worker Shehnwaz Khan through advocate Sugriv Dubey contended that e-rickshaws had no registration numbers and the vehicles put passengers at their own risk, since they cannot claim insurance in case of any accident.<\/p>\n<p>The petition sought a ban on the battery-powered e-rickshaws. The plea also sought directions to the authorities to take measures to stop the operation of e-rickshaws.<\/p>\n<p>The plea said e-rickshaws operated with four batteries and were designed to ferry four people, including the driver. It alleged that the drivers, at times, carry up to eight passengers, endangering their lives.<\/p>\n<p>The petition said that with speed ranging between 20-40 km per hour, e-rickshaws were not only a safety hazard but also a reason for traffic jams in many areas.<\/p>\n<p>During the hearing, counsel for Delhi government told the court that the MCD runs rickshaws, and so e-rickshaws also come under it and the government has nothing to do with it.<\/p>\n<p>However, counsel for MCD said the transport department comes under the Delhi government, and so e-rickshaws will also come under it.<\/p>\n<p>He said the civic agency has no power to stop e-rickshaws as they come under the jurisdiction of the Delhi government.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;E-rickshaws never came under MCD. Delhi government has the jurisdiction. We don&#8217;t have power to stop them. Delhi government has to give us power,&#8221; the MCD lawyer said.<\/p>\n<p>The bench asked both counsel to file their responses on the issue within four weeks and posted the matter for Feb 19.<\/p>\n<p>The petitioner&#8217;s counsel also contended that neither the vehicles were insured nor any claim can be made for injuries caused by e-rickshaws, &#8220;though even a small two-wheeler is covered under comprehensive insurance but these e-rickshaws don&#8217;t have any insurance&#8230; but if it causes accidents, then pedestrians may even die&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: IANS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Delhi High Court Wednesday pulled up the state government and Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) for shifting the blame on each other on the issue of e-rickshaws plying on city roads without licences or number plates.
