Highlights:
- Traffic police seizing vehicles if challans are pending
- A lawyer who recently approached the High Court
- The Telangana High Court has given a key verdict on the vehicle siege
Nikhilesh Togari, who is working as a lawyer in Kookatpalli court, was on his bike on August 1 when he was stopped by the traffic police at Parvatnagar crossroads. Essayist Mahendranath demanded immediate payment of Rs 1635 crore pending on the bike. However, police seized his vehicle after Nikhilesh said he would pay later. The police clarified that he had done it as per the rules. But where did he put his bike? Why? Asked about the details, he said that he had traveled on a bridge over which there was no entry and was unwilling to pay a total fine of Rs 1,635 for dangerous driving and violation of orders.
While a fine of just Rs 135 is required for no entry .. how can a huge fine be imposed? He got into an argument with the police saying that there are three punishments for one violation. The lawyer, who complained about the behavior of the police, filed a writ petition in the high court. The trial high court on August 11 expressed outrage over the attitude of the police. The law states that the vehicle should not be seized. Police returned the vehicle to him on High Court orders.
Another example is that the police did not change their ways despite a clear order from the High Court. Mayank Joshi, a resident of the city, was intercepted by police on his way to Manikonda from Shamirpet in a rental car with his wife and children. He said there were Rs 19,695 pending motions on the car and demanded immediate payment. Mayank Josh, along with car company ZoomCar, lodged a complaint with the Cyberabad traffic police on Twitter. Police left the car 45 minutes later.
