Chennai: Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) cannot collect 200 as a penalty on commuters found without masks, because Madras High Court has resisted CMRL because he wants authority.
“The best intended action, which is not supported by legal authority, is not resistant.
Even though the CMRL intention should be praised, it does not have the authority to impose and collect fine,” said the court on Thursday.
The first bench from the chairman of Judge Sanjib Banerjee and Justice PD Aucikesavalu, passing orders on the pill moved by Advocates R Muthukrishnan, said: “…
The authority to force a penalty as it cannot be adjusted to the law governing the CMRL firmly giving jurisdiction about such a body To impose a penalty.
“If at all, the state may have imposed such a penalty, assuming that the next and validity regulations and valid validity by treating the Metro Station and Metro coach as a public place.
However, only because the country has the authority to force a penalty, it will not imply that CMRL can draw from there or have the strength or jurisdiction to impose a fine fine, but the same good intentions, the court added.
Like 87,000 penalties that have been collected by CMRL, the court said, “Because quantum seems a little bit, CMRL is allowed to maintain the amount.”
