Asking people not to be under the mistaken impression that High Court Judges always travel in cars, Justice N. Anand Venkatesh said he often travels by bicycle, in government buses and even on foot and therefore knows the problems such commuters face.
The Judge was hearing a petition filed by two individuals, Mohammed Ashik and Mohammed Shadik to quash a criminal case booked against them for having reportedly indulged in motorcycle stunts on Dr. Radhakrishnan Salai, off Cathedral Road, in Chennai.
The court was informed that a group of youngsters in about 10 motorcycles had indulged in wheeling, rash driving and overspeeding near AVM Avenue at 1:30 a.m. on March 19, 2022. Such irresponsible behaviour on the main road had caused great threat to other motorists.
