(The Order of the Court was made by The Hon'ble The Chief Justice) The prayer made is to prohibit the plying of Autos in the City.

2. None appears for the petitioner. The petitioner must have suffered at the hands of the auto rickshaw drivers where Government is doing little to control their undesirable actions, despite current directions of the court. That aspect is being monitored by us in a separate petition.

3. We may only note that the issue raised by the petitioner that excess persons being carried is also be required to be prevented by the police authorities.

4. The writ petition accordingly stands disposed of. No costs.

Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. -s/d- Assistant Registrar True Copy Sub-Assistant Registrar ksr To 1.TheThe Secretary, Transport Department, Secretariat, Chennai 600 009.
