The judgment is unconstitutional as the conditions for driving are mentioned statutorily and cannot be done by the court, according to senior advocate Anand Grover. \u201cIt will deprive people of their livelihood. In this judgment, the Article 21 is violated,\u201d he told BloombergQuint. \u201cLiteracy is not a condition for driving in the statues. The signals are not in words, they are symbols so that anybody can drive.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Alok Prasanna Kumar, senior resident fellow at Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy, said the judgment is illegal and without any basis in law. The court, he said, has violated the basic principle of natural justice in not giving a hearing to those whose licences will be cancelled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t issue notice, you don\u2019t address any arguments, you don\u2019t take any facts into account but simply pass an order because you can. That\u2019s not how high courts are supposed to function. The Rajashtan High Court should immediately stay it on appeal and not expect the government to implement it,\u2019\u2019 said Prasanna Kumar.<\/p>\n<p>The Rajasthan High Court has asked the state transport authorities to lay down appropriate guidelines for issuance of licences, according to the court\u2019s order. The authorities will have to submit a report on the actions taken based on the directions issued by the court within a month.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that here rationality may be plausible on the surface but on deeper examination it appears to be lacking, according to advocate Apar Gupta. \u201cThe ability of the driver to be disciplined comes from the licence itself which may be cancelled for indiscipline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gupta also said the judgment ignores the economic reality that commercial driving is also done by people who don\u2019t necessarily have access or opportunity for formal education. \u201cWhen we extend economic opportunity based on state monopoly such as ability to drive a transport vehicle, it should be inclusive rather than it being exclusive.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi : The Rajasthan High Court ordered the state to cancel all driving licences issued to illiterate persons.
