From J.S.Clement Gnanasekar, S/o S.John Devadoss No.9, Vasanth Nagar, Perumalpuram, Tirunelvelli – 11. To, The Honourable Registrar (Administration) Honourable Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai. Sub:- 1st Appeal under Right to Information Act 2005 – Reg. Sir, I have sought a particular information with the Public Information Office, Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (Madurai Division – II) Limited, No.2 Trivandrum road, Vannarpettai, Tirunelvelli, vide RTI application dated 23.02.2015 which was received by them on 25.02.2015 for which I have not received any reply till date even after a lapse of 30 days from the receipt of the application. Aggrieved by the same I am preferring this appeal before you The news reported in The Hindu dated 16.02.2015 reveals that 153 buses were impounded upon the order of the Honourable Court for failure to pay compensation to a tune of Rs.10.77 Crores. Now T.N.S.T.C., & S.E.T.C., are involved in theft of vital spare parts from the buses impounded under the order of the Honourable Court. T.N.S.T.C., & S.E.T.C., are not in a position to produce the buses before the Honourable Court in Execution proceedings for want of buses in running condition, hence the claimants are also unable to execute executions petitions The Motor vehicle Act 1988, was enacted as a beneficial Legislation to ascertain that the injured receives compensation, commensurate with the injuries sustained by him. Similarly, the dependents of the deceased should be able to survive and withstand the situation caused on account of the death of the breadwinner of the family. The acts of the T.N.S.T.C., & S.E.T.C., shatters the very intention of the Legislation. The reason for seeking the information is for a genuine cause in the interest of public at large. Hence, in the interest of justice the appeal may be considered and Public Information Office, Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (Madurai Division – II) Limited, No.2 Trivandrum road, Vannarpettai, Tirunelvelli, may be advised to provide me with relevant information under R.T.I. Act at the earliest. 01.04.2015 Signature of the applicant Tirunelvelli. Encls : 1. RTI Application dated 23.02.2015. 2. Acknowledgement card dated 25.02.2015..
