The order comes into force after the Madras High Court refused to consider request of Tamil Nadu Lorry Owners Federation to extend the interim order of the single judge, who restrained government authorities demanding original driving license at the time of plying the vehicle till Tuesday.
On Friday, the state government informed the court that recent notification by state transport department directing the motorists to carry the original license while plying the vehicle would not be implemented till Tuesday. When the petition filed by Tamil Nadu Lorry Owners Federation and Traffic Ramasamy came up for hearing before Justice M. Duraiswamy, Advocate General Vijay Narayan informed the court that authorities would not implement the notification till September 5.
