A copy of the court's order

DHARAMSHALA: A resident of Pragpur village in Dehra division of Kangra district in Himachal Pradesh has received court summons for not wearing a helmet while 'driving a car'. Varun Gautam, who has been booked for driving without a helmet and disobeying police signal on May 1, 2019, has been directed to appear in the court in person on October 4 for the violation of the Motor Vehicle Act."I received the summons on Wednesday morning, when a cop arrived at my place and handed them over to me," said Varun's father Brij Mohan. "I was shocked to see the summons, as they are for driving the car without wearing a helmet. What is more surprising is that he (Varun) had neither taken the car out on that day nor come across any traffic police personnel," he added.According to Varun, the car is over 19 years old and in no condition to be plied on the road.The family is now planning to take up the matter with senior officials of the department.However, when contacted, the senior police officers said it could be a technical mistake on the part of cops at some point and necessary action would be taken in this matter at the earliest.
