Madras High Court Directs Authorities To Exempt Vehicle Tax, GST For Car Purchased By Visually Challenged Person https://www.livelaw.in/high-court/madras-high-court/madras-high-court-exempt-vehicle-tax-gst-for-car-visually-challenged-person-231967 Bringing relief to a visually impaired woman, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has directed the authorities to grant exemption from motor vehicle tax and GST for the car to be purchased for her use. In a significant decision, the Madras High Court, represented by Justice P.T. Asha, has granted tax exemption to a visually challenged individual seeking to purchase a car for personal use. The petitioner, Carunia Seelavathi, who holds a disability identity card indicating 100% physical impairment, had approached the court to register her new car, a TATA NEXON XE (Petrol), and avail tax exemption as per G.O.Ms.No.3352 dated December 29, 1976. Justice P.T. Asha took cognizance of the petitioner’s plight, considering her visual impairment and the challenges she faced while relying on taxis and autos for transportation. The court acknowledged that the petitioner’s request had been rejected by the authorities on the grounds that her vehicle did not qualify as an adapted vehicle eligible for tax exemption. The court referred to a recommendation by the Court of Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities (Divyangjan) and a previous order of the Madras High Court of 2021, which supported granting concessions to visually challenged individuals. Justice P.T. Asha emphasized, “Considering the recommendation of the Commission, which is a Commission specifically established for the disabled, and taking into consideration the fact that today visually challenged persons have more employment opportunities, even in the Government sector, and their commuting to the place of work becomes challenging, this Court is of the opinion that the exemption has to be granted to the petitioner.” Consequently, the court allowed the writ petitions, directing the concerned authorities to pass the necessary orders exempting the petitioner from motor vehicle tax and Goods and Services Tax (GST) within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of an undertaking letter by the petitioner. Case Name: Carunia Seelavathi Vs The Secretary to the Government of Tamil Nadu Case No.: W.P.(MD) No.12955 of 2023 Bench: Justice P.T.Asha Order dated: 26.06.2023

WHETHER PATTA ISSUED BY THE REVENUE DEPARTMENT IS A DOCUMENT OF TITLE OR NOT -       R. KARUNANIDHI,                        (Advocate, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court)   Introduction:           First I would like to express my gratefulness to the M.M.B.A. for creating an opportunity to write this essay about Patta. This essay is an endeavor to accentuate that the Patta is not a document for title rather it is just a prima facie substantiation to shows the title. A Patta is a legal document issued by the Revenue Authority in the name of the actual owner of a particular land. It also impliedly says that the land does not belong to the Government or any other person but that it belongs to the person in whose name the Patta stands. A Patta land means it is the private property which stands in the...

         CONTRIBUTION OF MADURAI HIGH COURT BENCH IN UPHOLDING THE HUMAN RIGHTS        -  R. KARUNANIDHI               (Advocate, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court)  INTRODUCTION          My endeavor in this article is to summon up the verdicts rendered by the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court in Human Rights perspective. I may fail to bring all the contribution done by respected and judges and learned advocates in this compilation. When I was doing my law graduation at Government Law College, the Madras High Court Bench at Madurai was inaugurated on July 24, 2004. The High Court Bench came as a shot in the arm for the litigants in southern districts who otherwise had to travel all the way to Chennai to file cases in the principal seat . I always remember the enormous efforts of advocates and other persons who fought f...

2003-ஆம் ஆண்டிலிருந்து, எனக்கு நீங்கள் செய்த எண்ணிலடங்கா உதவிகளை, ஊக்கம் அளித்த வார்த்தைகளை இனி யாரிடம் பெறுவேன் என்று எனக்கு தெரியவில்லை. எனக்கு ஏற்பட்ட இன்பங்களையும், துன்பங்களையும் சட்டக்கல்லூரி காலம் முதல் உங்களிடம் பகிர்ந்து கொண்ட போது அவ்வளவு பிரியமுடன் கேட்கும் பாட்ஷா சார் இன்று இல்லை எனும் யதார்த்த சூழலை ஏற்றுக்கொள்ள என்னால் முடியவில்லை. மரத்தின் கிளையில் இருக்கும் இலை என்றாவது ஒருநாள் சருகாய் மாறி கீழே விழும் என்ற இயற்கையின் நீதியை ஏற்றுக் கொள்ளும் மனநிலையில் உங்களின் மரணத்தை என்னால் ஏற்றுக்கொள்ள முடியவில்லை. புத்தகத்தை எப்போதுமே "புஸ்தகம்" என உச்சரித்து அதன் மேல் எனக்கு ஒரு உயிரோட்டமான உறவை ஏற்படுத்திய "நிஜங்கள்" என்ற பத்திரிக்கையின் ஆசிரியர் எங்கே என்று கேட்டுக் கொண்டே என் மனம் நிற்கிறது. கொத்தடிமை உரிமை தொடர்பாக வழக்குகளை கையலும் போதெல்லாம் எத்தனை முறை தொந்தரவு செய்து கேட்டாலும், எனக்கு ஆலோசனை சொல்லும் உங்களை நான் எங்கே போய் தேடுவேன் என்று தெரியவில்லை. என்னை எப்போதுமே எழுதுவதற்கும், மேடையில் பேசுவதற்கும் ஊக்குவிக்கும் அந்த உற்சாக வார்த்தைகள் சத்த...
