HC dismisses review petition on 50% toll on NH-48 stretch
The Madras High Court on Monday dismissed a review petition filed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) against an interim order passed by the court in December directing it to collect only 50% toll at two plazas situated between the Maduravoyal-Ranipet stretch of National Highway-48 due to very poor maintenance of the stretch. Justices M. Sathyanarayanan and A.A. Nakkiran refused to entertain the review despite the NHAI claiming that it was losing over ₹16 lakh a day due to the reduced toll price. The judges said the lives of motorists was much more precious than revenue collection. They observed that the highway was in a pitiable condition and not as per the standards of the Indian Road Congress. It was on a suo motu public interest litigation petition that the court directed the NHAI to collect only 50% toll till March 11.

Earlier, the road was riddled with … [Read more...] about HC dismisses review petition on 50% toll on NH-48 stretch

Her six-bedroom property, which she and her husband Dan Baldwin bought in 2011, has a huge tower dating back to the 1800s in the middle of the roof, likening it to a castle. The couple have added a flag and flagpole to the tower, which previously had a Union Jack flying from it. Neighbours were said to have complained about the patriotic display. One neighbour told The Mirror at the time: "We don't hang the Union Jack or St George flag outside our properties, so why should she? "It's not really becoming of the area. "The Tower house is one of the oldest in the neighbourhood, and has a very prominent tower, but it's never had a Union Jack on it before.
