The quantum of punishment should be made appropriate to the value of the idol stolen, S Sridharan said.When the plea came up for hearing, assistant solicitor general G Karthikeyan accepted notice on behalf of the central government and sought time to get instructions as to whether any proposal is mooted to incorporate appropriate amendment for effective dealing of idol theft cases.Recording the same, a division bench of Justice M Sathyanarayanan and Justice R Hemalatha posted the plea to February 5, 2020 for further hearing.According to the petitioner, though Archaeological Survey of India is the competent authority to take criminal actions in cases of idol theft, the department lacks adequate manpower to depute officials across Tamil Nadu to initiate appropriate action in thousands of idol theft cases.Stressing the need for amending the Act, the petitioner contended that it should be amended so as to permit a police officer not below the cadre of inspector to visit places where such antiques are seized and register criminal cases.The petitioner also cited a letter written by the former special officer of idol wing Pon Manickavel to the government in support of his plea. In the communication, Manickavel highlighted the need to amend the Act to ensure stricter action against idol thieves.Though a representation was made to the authorities on October 14, no action had been taken, the petitioner said.Download The Times of India News Appfor Latest City News.TOP DEALSSamsung Galaxy Note 10 (Aura Glow, 8GB RAM, 256GB Storage) with No Cost EMI/Additional Exchange Offers₹69999.00₹75,000(7% Off)BUYVivo S1 (Skyline Blue, 6GB RAM, 128GB Storage) with No Cost EMI/Additional Exchange Offers₹18990.00₹22,990(18% Off)BUYTRENDING NOWLa Liga names Rohit Sharma as brand ambassadorIs beer a better painkiller than paracetamol?
