Kochi: The High Court has said that it is a criticism once morest the erection of illegal flagpoles on the roadsides, regardless of who is erecting them. The order did not name any party. In a democracy, the road safety law applies equally to all. I do not know. The court has the power to enforce the law. Justice Devan Ramachandran said the court, which is functioning legally, does not need any special consideration. While considering the case of illegal roadside flag hoisting, the court had earlier criticized the CPM for erecting flagpoles in an unregulated and illegal manner in connection with the state convention without naming the party. The Chief Minister also indirectly replied to this at the conference. The court was hearing the petition once more on Tuesday.
The Kochi Corporation submitted a report stating that the erection of flagpoles in the city in connection with the conference did not cause any inconvenience to anyone. Dissatisfied with the report, the court asked the municipal secretary to disclose if he was afraid to act legally. Fear is not a crime. There are also officials who work without fear. The court responded by saying that it was happy when the corporation’s lawyer informed them that the flags had been removed by the party itself following the meeting. When asked how they might destroy the useless ones, the lawyer replied that the flags and the like might be reused. The court noted that you know how to turn on ordinary people and that plastic tapes were used to tie flags on sidewalk handrails. This is Nava Kerala.
