Hyderabad mein road par safar karne walon ke liye badi rahat ki khabar hai. Telangana High Court ne Tuesday ko police ko nirdesh diya hai ke woh logon ko rok kar pending traffic challans turant bharne ke liye majboor nahi kar sakti.
Court ne saaf kaha ke traffic fine vasoolne ke liye due process of law follow karna zaroori hai. Agar police koi action lena chahti hai, toh pehle court notice jaari karna hoga. Sirf road par gaadi rok kar challan bharne ka pressure banana kanoonan galat hai.
Justice NV Shravan Kumar ne yeh bhi spasht kiya ke police coercive action nahi le sakti, jaise gaadi ki chaabi chheenna ya confiscate karna, taaki turant payment karwai ja sake.
High Court ke mutabiq, citizens apni marzi se challan pay kar sakte hain, lekin zabardasti payment karwana allowed nahi hai. Yeh nirdesh Secunderabad ke rehne wale V. Raghavendra Chary ki taraf se daakhil ki gayi do writ petitions par sunwai ke dauran diya gaya, jisme Hyderabad Traffic Police ke enforcement system ko challenge kiya gaya tha.
Court ne clear message diya hai ke kanoon sab ke liye barabar hai aur traffic fines ki vasooli sirf legal process ke zariye hi ho sakti hai.
