Supreme Court issued contempt notice to AP fined states for not obeying orders regarding HSRP

Supreme Court of India issued contempt notice to the Andhra Pradesh Principal Secretary, Road Transport and Transport Commissioner asking them why they should not be punished for their failure in implementing the scheme.



It also set April 30, 2012 as the deadline for all new vehicles to have high security number plates.
For the old vehicles, the deadline was set as June 15.

For two-wheelers Rs.80 to 100 and for four-wheelers Rs.230 to Rs.250
Will be charged for the high security registration plates.

Furthermore SC also fined a few states Rs.10, 000 each for not filing affidavits despite its orders.
These fines will have to be recovered from the concerned officials.

The decision to fine the officials is good but it will not teach them a lesson and they will keep doing this that is disrespecting the God of India that is Supreme Court of India.

Good fine = 10 Million to officers and 50 Million to the states.

Supreme Court had warned all state Governments to ensure tamper-free high security number plates in vehicles, directing them to implement the scheme within four weeks.

A bench headed by the Chief Justice, Mr. SH Kapadia, had said contempt proceedings will be initiated against the State authorities without issuing any notice in case of non-compliance of the scheme within the time limit fixed by it.
