Speed governors: SC warns Transport Secretaries of 10 states

The Supreme Court on Monday told the Transport Secretaries of 10 states to file their response on a plea seeking installation of speed governors in vehicles, failing which they would have to appear before it.

An NGO, Suraksha Foundation, has challenged the April 15, 2015 government notification exempting some categories of passenger and transport vehicles from mandatorily installing speed governors.
Apparently displeased over 10 state governments not filing their response to the plea for the installation of speed governors, the bench of Chief Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud observed: “Is this Supreme Court or a joke court? This is not a panchayat and can’t be taken lightly.”
