The tragic death of six-year-old Sruthi in Mudichur near Chennai on Wednesday, July 25, 2012 on the spot, when she slipped through a gaping hole on the seat floor of her own school bus and got crushed, drew the attention of the high court and the first bench comprising Chief Justice M.Y.Eqbal and Justice T.S.Sivagnanam was compelled to question the state authorities concerned by registering a case suo motu after reading a news item.
It is pathetic to know that the bus was given clearance of road-worthiness just fifteen days earlier. It speaks volumes of the callousness on the part of road transport authorities. Such a murderous neglect and dereliction of duty is not only condemnable but fit for prosecution under I.P.C as a criminal. High Court deserves all the praise and we expect that it ensures a deterrent action and instills fear in the minds of regulatory authorities for better governance.
