NEW DELHI: A plea seeking to enforce the display of registration numbers on cars of constitutional authorities and dignitaries including the President, instead of just the State Emblem of India, has been filed in the Delhi High Court.
The petition filed by an NGO claimed that the practice of displaying the State emblem, the four lions, instead of the registration numbers, make the cars conspicuous and the dignitaries an easy target for terrorists and anyone with malicious intent.
The plea filed by NGO Nyayabhoomi, which seeks a direction to the Delhi Government and Delhi Police to seize the cars used by the Rashtrapati Bhawan, Vice President, Raj Niwas and Protocol division of the Ministry of External Affairs for not being registered under the Motor Vehicles Act, is likely to come up for hearing later this week.
It said that non-display of the registration mark of a vehicle was also a violation of provisions of the Act and non-registration of the cars meant they were not insured. (AGENCIES)
