A man on a motorcycle withmother on the pillion wasstopped by policemen at NorthBoag Road-G. N. Chetty Roadjunction when he tried to enterNorth Boag Road from G. N.Chetty Road. When policemenstopped him, he pleaded thathe be allowed to enter from the

wrong side just once as hewas in a hurry. When thepolicemen said ‘nothing do-ing’ the man started arguingfiercely but the policemenwere unmoved and told himto turn around. Seeing thathe could not have his way theman angrily took too sharp aU-turn and lost his balance.The motorcycle fell down buthe was not injured. Luckilyhis mother had not seatedherself on the pillion but waswaiting for him to turn.

terial roads after a study,” asenior police officer said.

This, some MTC officials feel,could be a precursor to a busrapid transit system (BRTS)in the city. “This is will defi-

nitely be like a trial run for theBRTS. It will also come as awelcome relief for our driverswho had complained of extratravel due to the diversions putinto force earlier,” said an MTCofficial. MTC had also in-creased fares. This won’t bethe case this time, officialssaid.

Traffic police are monitoringthe two junctions to prevent 2-wheeler riders and cyclists fromintruding into the dedicated bus

NO HOLDS BARRED

With home grown Koodamkulamites who would sell the countryfor a bottle of booze, the country does not need newly forged enemieswithin or abroad, except to give handsome Krishna a chance to goshopping in the malls of the world capitals to speak sweet nothingsto bored audiences.

Those who had lived through the 5 years of the Second World Warknow the value of the common things that bind humanity as afamily. My large house in Pallikunnu in Kannur District received usas escapees just before Hitler went mad, and the privations neces-sitated by war to save the Emperor in England made even a busjourney to the town an adventure involving the muscles of the buscrew who had to crank the coal-fed steam engine of the bus for thebumpy ride since petrol became the emperor’s blood line for the wareffort.

We suffered and walked a lot, which probably is why I, at the ageof 78 plus, can still perambulate. Electricity was a magical thing wehad heard of after returning from Nairobi where my father was HisMajesty’s Officer in British Kenya. We had the first installation ofthis magic in 1952 in our house as, during the interregnum, wepitched our tent in Madras in search of better educational pasturesand ended up with the acquisition of insatiable greed for things whichmodern science and merchandise offered.

Electricity became the key that opened the treasure chest ofhappiness. Then consumption overtook production and Truman’sJapanese human guinea pigs numbering about 300000 gave acertificate to those who needed proof that the atomic era is here tostay.

Even Gandhi’s India Pokhranised its atomic baptism. So far sogood. We have not only the best brains in the world but muscles too,we announced, and the combination was utilised for the productionof electricity at Trombay and other places and even at Kalpakkamin Tamilnadu. For the ever growing human wealth of the country,more industries have to run which means that more electricity isneeded. Even the dunderheads would admit this simple proposition.That was the genesis of our own Koodankulam nuclear powerventure after scientific clearance from those who are not preachersor profiteers .

When we need nuclear power to enlighten our homes and indus-tries, and, in the venture, crores of our own money have been spent,all that was required was for some VIP to say the few words “On yourblocks, get set; GO”, when a gang, calling themselves “Protestors”,appear and Fukushimaad the proceedings. SAD!

Amma, the great housekeeper, had to be niggardly with the smallsupply of power and ordered a 2-hour cut in Chennai city and 9-hourcut in the less fortunate districts. If the baddies continue their trade,there will be more cuts.

As a great philosopher is alleged to have said, nothing is a wasteso long as some people, however brain-dead, are benefited .Con-versely, the logician will theorize that, if only there is method in themadness, it is, as the Americans say, “okay”. Hamlet will endorseit.

The Madras High Court di-rected Mahalakshmi CulturalAssociation, T. Nagar on March22 not to allow members orguests to play rummy withstakes and make a profit orgain. The police can take ac-tion if any illegal activity iscarried on in the associationpremises, it said.

A Division Bench compris-ing Justices D. Murugesan andP. P. S. Janarthana Rajapassed the judgment on anappeal by police against asingle judge’s order on Nov. 4last year.

Originally, the Associationfiled a writ petition seeking anorder to forbear the police from

“Do not play rummy for gain”, High Court tells Mahalakshmi Associationinterfering in any manner inthe association’s activities,including playing rummy withor without stakes and also fromharassing its members andguests. As rummy is a game ofskill and not gambling, the as-sociation sought directions inthe writ petition.

The single judge having foundthat rummy is a game of skilland that police could not treatit as an illegal activity, dis-posed of the petition with direc-tions which included that theassociation should not indulgein any illegal activity otherthan playing rummy (13 cards)with stakes by its membersand guests.

Challenging this, the Direc-tor-General of Police and otherpolice authorities filed thepresent appeal.

Modifying the single judge’sorder, the Bench said thatrummy is only a game of skilleven though an element ofchance is also involved. If thegame is played by the mem-bers or guests without stakes,the Chennai City Police Actwill not be attracted.

The Bench said that a find-ing of the Supreme Court thatrummy is a game of skill shouldbe understood in the context itwas rendered in, on the basis ofevidence adduced by prosecu-tion in that case. A reading of

the judgment appeared that inthe event rummy was playedwith stakes the police had theauthority to take action underthe Chennai City Police Acteven though the game involveda skill and in that event, Sec-tion 49 (Saving of games ofskill) could not be pressed intoservice.

Though the provision ex-cluded the provisions of Sec-tions 42 to 48 in the eventrummy which is a game of mereskill was played, nevertheless,the said provision should beunderstood to mean that solong as the game was playedwithout stakes, the penal pro-visions were not applicable.

On the other hand, in thewake of the definition of ‘gam-ing’ in the law, in the eventrummy is played with stakes,it would amount to gambling.In that event Section 49 couldnot be pressed into service.

The Bench said in respect ofthe FIR registered against 56persons and others who weresaid to have indulged in illegalgambling as per a raid in Au-gust 2011, the police could pro-ceed further and it was for theassociation, its members andtheir guests to defend the sameas the criminal action was ini-tiated after a valid raid by thepolice. The police should notdisturb the association fre-

quently under the guise of in-spection without there beingany reliable information re-garding illegal activities of theassociation or its members orguests, the court said. Reportcourtesy The Hindu
