The High Court must protect the toiling masses

Tolls on various roads and streets are being taken forcefully from rickshaw van and auto-rickshaw drivers. Needless to say, this malpractice puts further pressure on a socio-economic group that is already struggling for its livelihood. 

Article 14 of our constitution says, "It shall be a fundamental responsibility of the State to emancipate the toiling masses – the peasants and workers – and back-ward sections of the people from all forms of exploitation.''  I, on behalf of these downtrodden and poverty-stricken people, humbly appeal to our Honourable High Court Division to implement rules to effectively put a stop to this illegal practice.
