Dear Anonymous,
No one can stop you from filing a PIL. But be sure such a PIL will get dismissed on the first date. The seats where 'Ladies' / 'Handicapped' are written are reserved for ladies and Handicapped. The other seats are general seats. In those seats male, female, handicapped etc., can sit. Therefore, those seats cannot be marked 'gents'. What you are asking is not any genuine demand, but your own understanding of the issues and about which you feel very strongly. BUT IT HAS NO MERIT.

Instead of taking up such issues with the court through filing of PIL which is not main-tenable as duly advised by Mr.Ramu, the author can genuinely challenge the Space constraints, lack of safety amenities in the seating, charging of deluxe rates giving no extra facilities to passengers, etc against Metropolitan Transport Corporation Chennai can be taken up. Nobody has bothered to get such genuine matters tested in the court of law.

Many of the cases filed against the MTC in the HC. But many of them were dismissed in the first hearing itself. Because the MTC says it their policy, not rule violation.

Now again such policies framed against the interest of general public should be contested in Supreme court as daylight robbery is underway causing inconvenience and harassment to commuters.
