Plea in Supreme Court against policy to scrap old vehicles despite roadworthiness

A plea has been filed in the Supreme Court challenging a new policy that scrapped the roadworthiness certification for old vehicles. The petitioners argue that the policy undermines vehicle safety and environmental standards, which are crucial for public health and safety. They contend that removing the requirement for roadworthiness checks could lead to an increase in accidents and emissions from aging vehicles. The case raises concerns about the balance between regulatory efficiency and ensuring vehicle safety, and whether the policy aligns with broader goals of environmental protection and road safety. The Supreme Court’s decision on this matter will likely influence future vehicle regulation policies and their implementation.
