The Regional Transport Office (RTO) might revoke for life the driving licence of advocate Janhavi Gadkar, who is alleged to have killed two people in road rash, in a final order of RTO that will be drafted this month reported Indian Express citing anonymous RTO sources.
Gadkar was allegedly speeding under the influence of alcohol and caused an accident while driving on the wrong side of the Eastern Express Freeway on 10 June last year, killing the driver and a passenger. She was released on bail after spending 57 days in jail.
A sessions court had ordered last month that all impounded property should be returned to her, including the licence.
However, according to police sources and RTO officials, her licence had been revoked in September so her licence was currently with the Wadala RTO
A senior, unnamed Wadala RTO official was reported in the Indian Express as saying: “We followed the process of her appeal now. However, despite being summoned twice she has not been present for either of the hearing. Gadkar was first called on 29 December, 2015 and then this past Thursday on 7 January. Her lawyer was present on her behalf and requested that another date be decided as his client has not been keeping well and would require at least four more weeks to recover.”
A report by the RTO that the Audi was “mechanically fit at the time of the accident” is part of the 560-page chargesheet filed by the RCF police against Gadkar on 10 August before the Kurla Metropolitan Magistrate.
Gadkar’s Audi was reportedly returned to her with conditions like Rs 25 lakh indemnity bond and a prohibition to change the colour of the car or dispose it off.
