Respected Sir,
In Judiciary only Judges of high court and supreme court are exempted from paying toll tax as per your rule 11 of National Highways rules 2008, but the judicial Magistrates and judges of various subordinate courts are also allowed without any toll tax, they are enjoying the privilege. In this connection The public Prosecutors, who are all working in the High Courts and Various subordinate courts in Tamil Nadu, conducting cases on behalf of the Central and State government, while crossing the toll gate for discharging their duties in courts, are compelled to pay tax. In some toll booths the tax is more than the Traveling Allowance permitted for the day by the State government. Even though The Public Prosecutors are appearing and conducting cases, where toll plaza people were assaulted and properties of NHAI were damaged, to put the culprits behind the bar, in favor of NHAI, they are constrained to pay toll. Hence I request your good self that the Public Prosecutors and may be exempted from toll, by considering their valuable service.
Thanking You Sir,
Yours Sincerely. Selvaraj. Tamil Nadu.
