1 above is ‘No’, then could you please provide me the applicable Acts and rules under the pretext of which the driver’s license is denied to such a person? Question No.1 : Can a person with no vision in one eye and normal vision in the other eye get a driver’s license issued under the concerned Acts of the Government of Delhi? The questions raised in the RTI filed by Shivraj are as follows: They have filed the first RTI seeking the reasons behind such denials. The Fresh cases of DL DenialsĪs I have reported above, Kapil Kaushal and Shivraj Kumar, both of Delhi, are undergoing the same process of RTIs after having been denied verbally for a DL. This is also in accordance with law of India and several other countries as I had quoted in my RTI appeal made to the appellate authority of the Delhi Transport Office which the office had also acknowledged to be true. As if they were not covered by the Indian constitution and the acts.įrom my case as reported elsewhere on this website, it is clear that to get a LMV driving license, vision in both eyes is not necessary. These officials were also shown the RTI reply I had got from the Head Office of the transport department, but they still refused and the MLO (Motor Licensing Officer) told them to "better approach Vasant Vihar RTO as the RTI belongs to them”. To our surprise, they denied them a learner’s license. The fresh case is that of Shekh Sarai office of the Transport Department, New Delhi where two of my friends, Kapil Kaushal and Shivraj had gone to get a Driving license along with all the necessary documents, including the medical certificate provided by the Safdarjung Hospital. Even though I have shared a scan copy of the RTI reply from the Delhi Transport Department stating that people with monocular vision are eligible to get a driving license if they furnish a medical certificate in the prescribed format, I see that several offices in Delhi are still denying a Driving License to people despite that they provide all the necessary documents and certificates. Why is the precedence not holding true in other offices!īut alas, despite the precedence of mine getting the driving license through the legal methods, I see that people are still facing the case of denial. As I have reported before, I fought my case and I also won it and got the driving license in 2010. When I shared my fight with the motor vehicle department at Delhi, I was thinking my case should be enlightenment for others facing the same situation as that of mine. My case was a unique one and I thought to share the processes of my journey to get a DL as I went through them. And I have fought the legal way to get a driving license from the motor vehicle department at Delhi. Today I bring you the case of two people who are fighting to get a driving license the legal way.Īs I have reported before, I am also a person with a monocular vision. It has been long since I posted a new article here.īut now is the time to give you updates on what has been going on in the background.
