MUMBAI: The Mumbai police are contemplating a move whereby autorickshaw drivers, caught for traffic violations, need not spend a night in the lock-up if they are unable to pay the necessary fine amount. If booked under the Motor Vehicles Act, the offender's driving licence is confiscated and a certificate for driving is temporarily issued.
"There are a few technical issues that need to be ironed out. But otherwise, the police commissioner has taken a decision in principal that provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act be applied on all auto drivers booked for causing obstruction to traffic," confirmed joint police commissioner (law and order) Sadanand Date.
The local police used to book autorickshaw drivers under provisions of the Bombay Police Act for causing an obstruction to traffic. The offenders were then required to pay a deposit of Rs 1200 and collect the sum from the court the next day, if proven not guilty. However, if the drivers were unable to shell out the deposit, they were lodged behind bars for the night and produced before court by the police next day. "This is grossly unfair, especially when there is a better provision under the Motor Vehicles Act and it is already being applied by the traffic police," said a member of the autorickshawmens' union.
Under the Motor Vehicles Act, if an offender is unable to pay up the penalty for obstructing traffic, his driving licence is confiscated and a certificate of temporary authorization to drive is issued. Thus, the driver doesn't need to spend a night in the lock-up. Union members have welcomed the move.
