A New Empire

The side effect of America First is that US left world leadership. Now china is moving in. Most of africa is under china control. WHO budget that usa said it will not be finding is being taken over by china. China is now closest ally of Pakistan. The new world order is China first and usa is now second fiddle. When you leave world leadership then someone will move into the vacuum so created. Let's all hail the new empire the Chinese one. American want america first and the world needs a leader the new leader weather we like it or not is china. I don't see it changing as long as it's america first.  Also the means do not justify the ends america thought so and hence it worked with only dictators and despots. Because while a country like india took time and had to think of local issues an dictatorship did not. So many times we have heard the American business saying things move fast in China because if there is any opposition it ends up in concentration camps or with a bullet in the head. Well you supported china for that reason as well as pakistan net result china can take you on and has filled your boots. It's the rising sun. Will American be able to recovery yes they can but their weakness is the ends justifying the ends they weakness is bring religion to everything. Their weakness is their greed. Democracy is about laws and regulations individuals space if they do not respect that then this is sun is bound to set.

Son of God

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948 born a hindu died a hindu. Loved mankind and his goat. Gave the world a new bible known as my experiments with truth. Shook the evil white man empire known as British empire. Was hated by the butcher of West Bengal and icon of so called White man burden Winston Churchill who starved to dead more people in Bengal then even hitler. True to the British nature of being thugs Mr Churchill never cleared his dues of Bangalore club and 13 rupees a princely sum in those days was written off by Banglore club as irrecoverable debt'. 

Today is the death anniversary one of the greatest human being Mahatma Gandhi who left  this worldly abode for his rightful place in heaven with God. The true son of God he was and as with his other son we murdered this one too. We don’t learn from our mistakes do we? The world miss him and the best words that I can think of are from my moral compass and favourite author which are “It shows how dangerous it is to be too good.” – George Bernard Shaw. However on this rare occasion I would beg to differ from Mr Shaw. For Mahatma knew what he was doing. He was offered police protection he refused he sat on a dharna to stop police from frisking people who came to meet him. There was a bomb attack yet he refused. In fact he said that should I die a normal death proclaim that I am no Mahatma. He knew and I chose to believe without proof that he being very spiritually aligned knew the time and who would kill him. My only regret is that Mr Godse was hanged Bapu would have forgiven him. Unfortunately even Mahatma followers did know the Mahatma so well or Shall we say they were too human to know the greatness of Mahatma. They chose to hang when they could have let him live and I believe it would be worse punishment for Mr Godse. The voice of ones conscience is the biggest slave driver,many a boss would be put to shame because one can run from everyone but one can not run from oneself. Not everyone can understand what I am writing ✍️ but everyone knows what I am writing. Mahatma proved that the greatest power in the world is spiritual. That one man can become a Mahatma,Even in kalyug. To one of the greatest man to have walked on the face of Earth we raise a toast may your fame be everlasting.

murder most foul

This is murder because a trial if held would have exposed the truth. This is easy find poor people who would not have access to lawyers. Accuse them make selective leaks in press to have outage increased in public. The media will hype it more and more so that even western nation will issue advisory  against travel to India.  Increase the hype day by day. Eventually the lawyers say they will not defend the accused. Then kill them say they tried to run. These were people who earned less then 5000 a month that is around 70 us dollars and are daily wager means if they dont work they dont earn and hence when in jail they will not be earning without money they can not access the legal system. Here are the following facts that make me feel this is a murder 

1) victim is burned alive proving rape will be difficult 

2) lack of eye witness or forensics evidence like finger prints DNA mobile tracking etc.

The problem was that if a trial happened they might go Scot free and that would be egg in face of politican.who would find it difficult in election to explain this to people.  The public was anyhow wanting quick trial.There were petition that hang them before year ends, considering today is 6 December 2019 less then a month to hang them and mind you court would be closed and on holidays. That this is a British pactice is irrelevant to morden India no one is borthered least of their Lordship's No one wanted a fair trial. Weird in the same state a woman forest officer was beaten up by a poltican in the same state a woman tasilder (revenue offical) was burnt alive and the IAS (indian administrative Service) associations were the only people condemning it. 

The problem was middle class was rattled they felt that it could happen to them  they felt unsafe the face book and twitter republic were out raged they wanted a mob lynching and that is what has happened. Today is a bolt on name of justice and you and I are  responsible for this murder. The karma will flow in our life we have ordered this hit as much as the police man or woman who fired the finger that pressed the trigger was ours and that policeman or woman will one day take money to fire his gun on some one like us. Do you know why because he or she have got away with murder. They have understood how to use tv and social media to make us behave like mob. Police reforms are urgently needed but we will never ask for them because we are happy that justice has been done without a trial. In a nation where over 80% rape cases are false where 70% case are false where the situation is so bad that justice mulla of Allahbad high court had to say in open court that the only organized force of criminals is police force. Why blame the police they comprise or people like you and me. Supreme court in a landmark judgement in 2006 aprox said the man manning traffic should not be investigating crimes but that is what happens. The man doing beat is the investigation officer and we are not bothered.  If we are this callous then we deserve what we get. Police is human you dont worry how they work what pressure are there when a man or woman approaches the police the first thing you want is the person you are reporting against should be beaten up this is the sad reality and when you want this what is that the police officer learns it's alright to do violence against people. They learn that and one day they do it on an innocent and you feel they are criminals they are what you have made them. If Justice Mulla  is correct then he too was responsible for the police becoming evil. As a judge he could have curbed it rather then lecturing but how many times did he do it?  When we expect want or ask the police to do illegal things we are preparing our graves. Police reforms are the bedrock of democracy yet I have hardly heard the civil society wanting it. What I have seen in last 40 years is the demand of police to kill criminal and not arrest them. This demand lead to movies where false encounter were glorified. This demand lead to extortion it lead to large then life role for some officers. Who pays the traffic police bribe when they challan you ? You do and what happens is that the constable learns how easy it's to make money. Then you blame him for extortion from trucks. Now you as citizen bribed him till he thought bribe is his or her right. If he or she demands what he or she precieved as his right then this is bound to happen. Both false encounter and bribes are result of your expectations. In Today's murder the blood is as much on your hands as mine it's no different from the blood of christ or the suspicion on the character of sita. You and I forced her exile as much as we crucified  the saint sent to save us. Even God can't help if we dont help ourself and please please support police reforms. They are more important then tax breaks.

Blood lust of a democracy

A rape has happened. Of a vet doctor in Hyderabad and  people are agitated. Facebook is flooded for a few days and people are asking for stringent laws. In my view they are bloody fools. In India we have the most stringent laws. A man accused of rape has to spend 100 days in jail if he is  just accused. If a man is in postion of power over woman the man is deemed to have committed rape even if there is no proof he is to be jailed. A husband can also be sent to Jail for rape.  Hell if a woman logs an fir you cant get a copy online but only though the court which means you spend 3000 bucks for something. Plus lawyer fee for something that is the right of accused States like Haryana have even taken away free ration for families of accused. Laws don't need to be stringent. What needs change is police reforms these reforms were ordered by Supreme court of india on 22-9-2006 (22nd Sept 2006) in Prakash Singh vs Union of India case. However no state has implemented this across of india. Nirbhay need not have happened if these police reforms were implemented. Today a person who has to direct traffic also double up as Investigation Office. Does he have forensics training? are their police dogs to help him? does he have access to forensic team or is he aware of finer nuances of interrogation. If he supposed to manage traffic and be on patrolling duty as well as attend court when will he investigate cases ever thought of this my angry friends. If he on road to stop an angry crowd who trying to block traffic will he be able to do investigations. Supreme court said law and order and criminal investigation are different things. Officer involved in law and order should not look at criminal investigation it's not been implemented. There should be a police complaint authority in every district for complaint against police so of your FIR is not registered u can approach them or if you are not  happy with investigation but no state except delhi where police is under central govt has implemented it. Anticipatory bail was not there in state of Uttar Pradesh which means if you are accused of a stringent crime you went to jail or you had to approach high court yet rapes happen here why? Because of lack of police reforms not stringent laws. Has any one seen that how many false rape cases are being filled ? Do you know why because the law is stringent and gives no relief to accused but still the conviction rate is low, why? Because there is no proper investigation. So don't ask for justice ask for police reforms ask for better faculties for  police, ask for better faculties in court ask for judicial reforms. Ask that lawyer who cheats their clients there should be action against them. Ask if a government lawyer takes money and loses case he should be barred by bar. If you want to complain against your lawyer do you know the process? why are 35 affidavits required for that and why has the complainant had to bear the cost of sending notice as well as give a fee. Trying to get  35 affidavit made let's see which lawyers will give you help in that. Yet you are agitated about police and the courts not doing anything. What will they do if the system does not give them freedom. Chhaya Sharma the  dcp  in charge of Nirbhaya case pulled in favours and got forensic evidence that helped nail the murders. How many cases are supervised by dcp. Do yourself and this nation a favour ask for police reforms and if you can't then ask for return of the old British system where the dm and division commissioner could not only direct police to register case but also can order change of io. They should also write the acr of police officers and that should be considered in posting and promotion of police offices. Also stop glorifying officer like KPS Gill or  politician who say thook dalo get or encourage encounters done and start remembering people like R.C. Dikshit who had removed terrorism with out a single false encounter. In an area as large a Punjab. Stop shortcuts and support systematic reforms for your nation and you.

What people ask for and demand an encounter it can be of an innocents but if they see justice happening they are find it matters not of the innocent get punished. The blood lust of people should be satisfied and poltician play this well. Even the educated in India are not aware of National Crime Record Bureau http://ncrb.gov.in/ they think an encounter will ensure that crime will not happen in a state or distict. The want fast results and these are the people who claim it takes 9 months for a baby to be born it takes years of study to become a doctor these people think medicine is learned 30 second modules. These people are Facebook hero's who will do nothing for the system to change. Sad place we are in today. If social media is to decide how the criminal justice system is to work. Police reforms with subsequent judicial reforms is the way forward 

Rape here a rape there. What should we do ensure justice for all ?

I wonder if I would have been on candle light vigil at India gate for Nirbhaya if I had known that net result of that movement would be a law which mandate 120 days of jail even before trail starts. The number of false cases are also staggering. Karan Oberoi this one and many others are now making me wonder who the victim are ? In the Nirbhaya case too the boy who gave evidence and recognised the criminals he was severely injured and in ICU as well he neither facilitated for sticking to his statement nor appreciated he made enemies. In fact India looks increasing unsafe for urban men. Most of these idiotic laws are made keeping in mind rural areas but there fir are not done by police here in urban areas cops are caught working with gangs who file false fir to extort money. 498a has become an extortion tool so have other laws. There is need to protect the middle class from such false case at the same time ensuing that criminals who actually do this don't escape.  Government has to make police free and accountable to the pyblic. False fir cases have to be dealt with heavy hand and made non bailable and jail term  made life imprisonment. Also the accused name should be kept away from media till conviction. Fast track court and dedicated crime unit for such crime having a a forensic member should be there in every district or police station. Such officers should be exempt from law and order duties as well as election so that don't get bogged down. Dedicated team of prosecution lawyers selected basis an all India test for representing such cases.  and mandatory 100 hours of training in how to behave with public and deal with such cases to be provided to officer dealing with such cases. Judges who deal with such cases should be carefully vetted and given training. Also in the long summer break they should be given training on how to deal with such case. Two fast track courts per district and more if required. Annual review of judges, policemen and lawyers made public and put in public domain. Apart from this a witness protection program for such cases and victim rehabilitation program. For the preparatators of the crime psychology profiling to find out why they did this crime and rehabilitation if doctor feel it can be done post the carrying out of sentence. Physiological profiling should also be done to find out why the crime was done and an 3 year review of such cases should be done  by the home Minster/cm dgp and head of prosecution branch be done on cases judged and which are pending. This report is to.be put in public domain and recoded 5 year review of such cases by union home minister centre for police research, dgp, c home Minster of the state with NCRB  chief   to be done as well. This will ensure that such cases are dealt diligently.

All the above is the need of hour to stop false case and to ensure justice is done.

What do you think?

The New America and the cultural dominance of India

Was reading up about General P P Kumaramangalam, DSO,  MBE, who led the army in 1967 clash with china which went in india favour and who served with american army in world war 2 and was  POW in italy. He was also trained at the artillery school in Fort Sill, Oklahoma and this was his view on USA "This country is not one that I will ever get fond of. I have not got a very high opinion of them. The people that I have to deal with are very kind, hospitable and have been very good to the two of us. But somehow I feel there is a trace of artificiality in that and also it is the result of trying to impress one. They I think are very jealous of the old world and its background and culture and this results in an aggressive inferiority complex. As for their state of morality, there is none. People seem to delight in trying to outwit each other by any means, mainly crooked. The politicians are racketeers and big business has a tight grip on everything in the country. The small country trader and the farmer I think have their hands securely tied by the big men. I do hope that our country proceeds with caution and doesn't get entirely under the influence of the States."
As I read it I am coming to the conclusion that we as A NATION seem to be following in the footsteps of america which might in the long run not be good for us. Indian ethos and culture has to be preserved we traditional thought about all an classic example from Vivekanand writing is West celebrates individualism there a blind man would be lonely, never get family while in east a blind man will be part of society be married have children be entitled to love affection and life. I think we are forgetting it as we go ahead in life

God jailed

Well is he not jailed or for the politically correct chaps God been jailed and has no gender! Interesting zoroastrian say God has no gender. But that is something we will come to later. If God is free and powerful all knowing how the hell does he allow so much pain and suffering in this world. Perhaps it's a question I should never ask. But fact is religion is the opium of masses is a fact. The rich have locked up Gods in church, temples, pagodas mosque  gurdwara etc for they knew if God was there always they would never be able to rob pillage and destroy the poor. That is why all the top God men live the life of riches. Take any religion of your choice and you will find the same look at your religion leader the pope the priest of any religion have robbed murdered and pillaged. More people have died in name of God and for God then in any world war. If this is God then who is the devil? Man his creation ? Because he has caught God locked him up comes sometime to vist and pray ask for forgiveness and then assured that his expensive gifts have turned God in to his side he leaves to do more evil. God men cure all ills but never go to a hospital to save the dying ? That is because God has been locked up for you knew that if God was there always omnipresent you could never run the business of life. Never mix sand in food never exploit the poor. Never build the places and the lovely places of worship. Never convince the poor that if he lives honestly he will get heaven while you the rich will get hell for robbing him while enjoying heaven on earth. Funny how God looks at earth so less after all all these bombs these posturing by trump these companies firing people seem to go on while God remains locked up in his prison.

The Era of AAP is here and AAP will take over from Congress does it brood good or bad time read on

Todays newspaper made me realize that AAP is going to be here for the long haul and will replace congress. Here is why:-
1) AAP has given power subsidy till 400 units which means it actually benefits people living in Slums till now core votes for congress. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/RWAs-trash-Sisodia-claim-that-90-to-gain/articleshow/46375573.cms
2) AAP has said no illegal slums will be brought down and has ordered that  no  illegal slums are to be brought down. Now slums are big business with each slum having a Zamirdar kind of person or family which takes money from new settlers and let them live there get them ration card etc these people used to support congress and ensured that every one voted for congress http://www.ndtv.com/delhi-news/aap-government-in-delhi-bans-demolitions-in-residential-slum-areas-740026
3) the auto drivers autos can now no longer be impounded and can at most be fined 100 bucks that power of Delhi Traffic Police​ has been taken away by AAP http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/After-anarchy-Delhi-CM-Arvind-Kejriwal-unleashes-auto-cracy/articleshow/30014423.cms there will be no GPS also installed in the auto. I would REMIND that the rape of Nirhbhay happened only because Auto drivers refused to take her to her home they wanted to charge more as a frequent user of prepaid auto in Delhi I can vouch that auto drivers today do not heed prepaid booths and for my friends from AAP who will attack me I can any day upload a video and would request them to on any day go to Nizamudeen railway station and see what the public goes though. I have in fact shifted to uber which again Delhi government wants to ban(yes Delhi government under AK) http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/emerging-businesses/startups/delhi-government-in-consultation-with-centre-to-block-ubers-internet-address/articleshow/46362285.cms
4) removing pollution checks to start business the app government has ensured that mandatory check for pollution  is removed http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/aap-government-sweeps-away-green-check-for-small-businesses-in-delhi-740352 which means that business community will be happy and so will be the doctors and the Pvt Hotel I mean hospitals of Delhi (pun Intended putting it here because AAP supporters do tend to toll on my wall)
5) FDI has been banned in Delhi and openly the business community (bania) were told help defeat Punjabis
6) Big companies like Reliance are now supporting AAP which has actually started helping aap Why:-
a) gas price not hiked by BJP
b) coal blocks given to States so that thermal power rather then more expensive gas power will be used to generate power which will be cheaper
c) Reliance staffer in Oil ministry are being investigated for spying on government http://www.rediff.com/news/report/petroleum-ministry-staffers-arrested-for-leaking-info/20150219.htm their network is being brought down
e) reliance power owns 4000 core to Delhi government which had brought them under pressure the current subsidy will be used to bring down the 4000 core to zero. Why that 4000 core was not used to take over the company or force it to reduce tariff or to take over the company and attach the assets of reliance power remains a mystery to me if that was not enough the BJP government wanted an MSO system for power which means I can take power from any company like I do for mobile phone this would automatically remove reliance monopoly
7) Sewerage and water charges brought down now Sewerage charges charge in Delhi are 250 bucks and 80% of water is un-metered  but slums were paying for sewerage charge which is now no longer there so the actual beneficiary of aap are slums  http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/Double-delight-Sewerage-charges-too-will-go-now/articleshow/46375567.cms

In short the business community is behind them as FDI and pollution checks are no longer required. Slums will support them due to subsidy which is given to them subsidized by TAX paying janta. Plus companies like Reliance monopoly was under threat. Moslems and Left have always remained away from BJP they too will support AAP and hence the era of AAP is here to stay. If its good its good for reliance and for slums not for the raising and aspiring middle class. But then Indian have been their own worst enemy caste and religion have been used to divide them. Even today in APP supporter you will see that the party is more important then the Nation. Sometimes I wonder if Indian are by nature fanatic race? time and History of India will tell and I sure as hell hope I am proved wrong 

Judgment by Supreme Court of India banning use of any kind of films on cars in India

Friends I guess many of you would like to read the judgement and hence I thought it best to put it up here. Many people have been trying to read it to understand it better. There are two important points here:
1) use of any kind of Films on car window is banned
2) exception are their for VIP depending on MHA classification

The source of this judgement copy is Indrani Basu <indrani.basu@timesgroup.com> from Times of India who had written the article in times of India on the same subject. She has sent it to me via email on Mon 5/7/2012 9:36 PM

                                    REPORTABLE

                        IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA

                         CIVIL ORIGINAL JURISDICTION

                    WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) NO. 265 OF 2011

      Avishek Goenka                                  … Petitioner

                                   Versus

      Union of India   & Anr.                           … Respondents

                               J U D G M E N T

      Swatanter Kumar, J.

      1.    Alarming rise in heinous crimes like kidnapping, sexual  assault

      on women and dacoity have impinged upon the  right  to  life  and  the

      right to live in a safe environment which are within the  contours  of

      Article 21 of the Constitution of India.    One  of  the  contributory

      factors to such increase is use of black films on  windows/windshields

      of four-wheeled  vehicles.   The  petitioner,  as  a  public  spirited

      person, has invoked the  extra-ordinary  jurisdiction  of  this  Court

      under Article 32 of the Constitution in the  present  public  interest

      litigation, praying  for  certain  directions  to  stop  this  menace.

      According to the  petitioner,  this  Court  should  issue  a  writ  or

      direction   requiring   use   of   such   safety   glasses   on    the

      windows/windshields in vehicles  having  100  per  cent  Visual  Light

      Transmission  (for  short  ‘VLT’)  only  and,  to  that  extent,   the

      petitioner challenges  the  correctness  of  Rule  100  of  the  Motor

      Vehicles Rules, 1989 (for short  “the  Rules”).   He  also  prays  for

      prohibition on use of black films on  the  glasses  of  the  vehicles,

      proper implementation of law in that behalf and  finally,  for  taking

      stringent actions against the offenders,  using  vehicles  with  black

      filmed glasses.  He also prays that a larger police  force  should  be

      deputed to monitor such offences.

      2.    The use of black films upon the vehicles gives immunity  to  the

      violators in committing a crime and is used as a tool of  criminality,

      considerably increasing criminal activities.  At times, heinous crimes

      like dacoity, rape, murder and even terrorist acts are committed in or

      with the aid of vehicles having black films pasted on the side windows

      and on the screens of the vehicles.  It is stated that because of non-

      observance of the norms, regulations and guidelines  relating  to  the

      specifications for the front and rear windscreens and the side windows

      of the vehicles, the offenders can move undetected  in  such  vehicles

      and commit crimes without hesitation.

      3.    The word ‘tinted’ means shade or hue as per the dictionary.  The

      rear and front and side glasses of vehicles  are  provided  with  such

      shade or tint, and therefore, they are widely referred to  as  ‘tinted

      glasses’, which is different from ‘black films’.  The glasses  of  the

      vehicles having a coating of black films cannot be termed  as  ‘tinted

      glasses’ because they are not manufactured as such.

      4.    Besides aiding in commission  of  crimes,  black  films  on  the

      vehicles are also at times positively correlated with motor  accidents

      on the roads.  It is for the reason that the comparative visibility to

      that through normal/tinted glasses which are manufactured as  such  is

      much lesser and the persons  driving  at  high  speed,  especially  on

      highways, meet with accidents because of use of black filmed glasses.

      5.    The use of black films also prevents  the  traffic  police  from

      seeing the activity in the car and communicating with  the  driver  of

      the vehicle. The petitioner  also  cites  that  the  number  of  fatal

      accidents of vehicles having black films is much higher in India  than

      in other parts of the world.  The black  filmed  vehicles  have  lower

      visibility and therefore, the chances of accident are increased by  18

      per cent to 38 per cent due to low visibility.  He has  also  referred

      to the World Health Organization’s data, pertaining to  deaths  caused

      on roads, which, in India have  crossed  that  of  China,  though  the

      latter has more vehicles, population and area in comparison to  India.

      A device called luxometer can  measure  the  level  of  opaqueness  in

      windows owing to the application of black films but this device  is  a

      scarce resource  and  is  very  scantily  available  with  the  police

      personnel in India.

      6.    The Court can take a judicial notice of the fact  that  even  as

      per the reports, maximum crimes are committed  in  such  vehicles  and

      there has been a definite rise in the commission  of  heinous  crimes,

      posing a threat to security of individuals and the State, both.

      7.    Whatever are the rights of an individual, they are regulated and

      controlled by the statutory provisions of the Act and the Rules framed

      thereunder.   The citizens at large have a right to life i.e. to  live

      with dignity, freedom and safety.  This right emerges from Article  21

      of the Constitution of  India.   As  opposed  to  this  constitutional

      mandate, a trivial individual protection  or  inconvenience,  if  any,

      must yield in favour of the larger public interest.

      8.    The petitioner claims to have received various replies from  the

      police department of different States like Tamil  Nadu,  West  Bengal,

      Delhi and Ministry of Home Affairs, New Delhi.  On the  basis  of  the

      replies received under the provisions of the Right to Information Act,

      2005, copies of which have been annexed to the writ  petition,  it  is

      averred that these authorities are of the unanimous opinion that black

      films should be banned.  Black filmed glasses help  in  commission  of

      crime as well as hiding the criminals even during  vehicle  checks  at

      ‘Naka’ points.  Non-availability  of  electronic  devices  to  measure

      violations and lack of police force to  enforce  the  Rules  are  also

      apparent from these replies.  The petitioner also states that the  use

      of black  films  is  not  prevalent  in  developed  and/or  developing

      countries all over the world.  In fact, in some of the  countries,  it

      is specifically banned.  In Afghanistan, Belarus, Nigeria, Uganda  and

      even in Pakistan, use of black films on the vehicle glasses is banned.

      Use of black films is not  prevalent  in  United  States  of  America,

      United Kingdom, Germany and other countries as well.

      9.    In order to examine the  merits  of  the  prayers  made  by  the

      petitioner in the present application, it will be necessary for us  to

      refer to the relevant laws.

      10.   The Motor Vehicle Act, 1939 was enacted to consolidate and amend

      the laws relating to  motor  vehicles.   This  Act  was  subjected  to

      various amendments.  Finally, the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (for  short

      ‘the Act’) was enacted, inter alia, with the object and reason  being,

      to provide  for  quality  standards  for  pollution  control  devices,

      provisions  for  issuing  fitness  certificate  of  the  vehicle   and

      effective ways of tracking down traffic offenders.  Section 190 of the

      Act provides that any person who drives or  causes  or  allows  to  be

      driven in any public place a motor vehicle or a trailer which has  any

      defect, or violates the  standards  prescribed  in  relation  to  road

      safety, or violates the provisions  of  the  Act  or  the  Rules  made

      therein, is punishable as per the provisions  of  the  Act.  In  other

      words, alteration to  the  conditions  of  the  vehicle  in  a  manner

      contravening the Act is not permissible in law.   Section  52  of  the

      Act declares that no owner of a  motor  vehicle  shall  so  alter  the

      vehicle  that  the  particulars  contained  in  the   certificate   of

      registration are at variance with those originally  specified  by  the

      manufacturer.  However, certain changes are permissible  in  terms  of

      the proviso to this Section and that too  with  the  approval  of  the

      Central Government/competent authority.   In terms of  Section  53  of

      the Act, if any registering authority or  other  prescribed  authority

      has reason to believe that any motor vehicle within  its  jurisdiction

      is in such a condition that its use in a public place would constitute

      a danger  to  the  public,  or  that  it  fails  to  comply  with  the

      requirements of the Act or the Rules made thereunder, whether  due  to

      alteration of vehicle violative of Section 52 of the Act or otherwise,

      the Authority may, after giving opportunity of  hearing,  suspend  the

      registration certificate for the period required for rectification  of

      such defect, and if the defect is still not removed, for  cancellation

      of registration.   In exercise of its power, under various  provisions

      of the Act, the Central Government has framed the Rules.  Chapter V of

      the Rules deals with construction, equipment and maintenance of  motor

      vehicles.  Rule 92 mandates that no person shall use or cause or allow

      to be used in any public place any motor vehicle which does not comply

      with the provisions of this Chapter.  There are different Rules  which

      deals with various aspects of construction and maintenance of vehicles

      including lights, brakes, gears and other  aspects  including  overall

      dimensions of the vehicles.  Rule 100 of  the  Rules  concerns  itself

      with  the  glass  of  windscreen  and  VLT  of  light  of  such  glass

      windscreen.  It specifically provides for fixation of glasses made  of

      laminated safety glass conforming to Indian standards IS:2553-Part 2 –

      1992 and even for the kind of windscreen wipers required to  be  fixed

      on the front screen of the vehicle.   Relevant part of Rule 100,  with

      which we are concerned, reads as under:-

           “100. Safety glass.—(1) The glass of windscreens and the windows

           of every motor vehicle  188[other  than  agricultural  tractors]

           shall be of safety glass:

           Provided that in the case of three-wheelers  and  vehicles  with

           hood and side covers, the  windows  may  be  of  189[acrylic  or

           plastic transparent sheet.]

           Explanation.—For the purpose of this rule,—

                 i)  "safety  glass"   means   glass   conforming   to   the

                    specifications of the Bureau of Indian Standards or  any

                    International Standards and so manufactured  or  treated

                    that if  fractured,  it  does  not  fly  or  break  into

                    fragments capable of causing severe cuts;

                ii) any windscreen or window at the front  of  the  vehicle,

                    the inner surface of which is  at  an  angle  more  than

                    thirty degrees to the longitudinal axis of  the  vehicle

                    shall be deemed to face to the front.

           [(2) The glass of the windscreen and rear window of every  motor

           vehicle shall  be  such  and  shall  be  maintained  in  such  a

           condition that the visual transmission of light is not less than

           70%. The glasses used for side windows are  such  and  shall  be

           maintained in such condition that  the  visual  transmission  of

           light is  not  less  than  50%,  and  shall  conform  to  Indian

           Standards [IS: 2553— Part 2—1992];

           (3) The glass of the front windscreen  of  every  motor  vehicle

           [other than two wheelers and agricultural tractors] manufactured

           after three years from the coming  into  force  of  the  Central

           Motor  Vehicles  (Amendment)  Rules,  1993  shall  be  made   of

           laminated safety glass:

           Provided that on and from three months after the commencement of

           the Central Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Rules, 1999, the glass of

           the front windscreen of every  motor  vehicle  other  than  two-

           wheelers and agricultural tractors shall be  made  of  laminated

           safety glass conforming to the Indian  Standards  IS:  2553—Part

           2—1992.

           Explanation.—For  the  purpose  of  these  sub-rules  "laminated

           safety glass" shall mean  two  or  more  pieces  of  glass  held

           together by an intervening layer or layers of plastic materials.

           The laminated safety glass will crack and break under sufficient

           impact, but the pieces of  the  glass  tend  to  adhere  to  the

           plastic material and do not fly, and if a hole is produced,  the

           edges would be less jagged than they would be in the case of  an

           ordinary glass.”

      11.   From the above provisions, it is clear that the Rules deal  with

      every minute detail of construction and maintenance of a vehicle.   In

      other  words,  the  standards,  sizes  and  specifications  which  the

      manufacturer of a vehicle is required to adhere to while manufacturing

      the vehicle are exhaustively dealt with under  the  Rules.    What  is

      permitted has been specifically provided for and  what  has  not  been

      specifically stated would obviously be deemed to  have  been  excluded

      from these Rules.   It would neither be permissible nor  possible  for

      the Court to  read  into  these  statutory  provisions,  what  is  not

      specifically provided for.  These are the specifications which are  in

      consonance with the prescribed IS No. 2553-Part 2 of 1992 and  nothing

      is ambiguous or uncertain.   Let us take a  few  examples.   Rule  104

      requires that every motor vehicle, other than three wheelers and motor

      cycles shall be fitted with two red reflectors, one each on both sides

      at their rear.  Every motor cycle, shall be fitted with at  least  one

      red reflector at the rear.  Rule 104A, provides that two white  reflex

      in the front of the vehicle on each  side  and  visible  to  on-coming

      vehicles from the front at night.   Rule 106 deals with deflections of

      lights and requires that no lamp showing a light to the front shall be

      used on any motor vehicle  including  construction  equipment  vehicle

      unless such lamp is so constructed, fitted  and  maintained  that  the

      beam of light emitted therefrom is permanently deflected downwards  to

      such an extent that it is not capable of dazzling any person whose eye

      position is at a distance of 8 metres from  the  front  of  lamp  etc.

      Rules 119 and 120 specify the kind, size and manner in which the  horn

      and silencer are to be fixed in a vehicle.

      12.   These provisions demonstrate the extent  of  minuteness  in  the

      Rules and  the  efforts  of  the  framers  to  ensure,  not  only  the

      appropriate manner of construction and  maintenance  of  vehicle,  but

      also the safety of other users of the road.

      13.   Rule 100 provides for glass of windscreen and windows  of  every

      motor vehicle.  The glass used has to  be  ‘safety  glass’.   Then  it

      provides for the inner surface angle on the windscreen.   Rule 100 (2)

      provides that the glass of the windscreen and  rear  window  of  every

      motor vehicle shall  be  such  and  shall  be  maintained  in  such  a

      condition that VLT is not less than 70 per cent and  on  side  windows

      not less than 50 per  cent  and  would  conform  to  Indian  Standards

      [IS:2553-Part2-1992].

      14.   The said IS, under clause 5.1.7, deals with VLT standards and it

      provides for the same percentage of VLT through the safety  glass,  as

      referred to in Rule 100(2) itself.

      15.   Having dealt with the relevant provisions of law,  we  may  also

      refer to a statistical fact that the number of violators of  Rule  100

      has gone up from 110 in the year 2008 to 1234 in  the  year  2010,  in

      Delhi alone.  This itself shows an increasing trend  of  offenders  in

      this regard.

      16.   In face of the  language  of  the  Rule,  we  cannot  grant  the

      petitioner the relief prayed for, that there should be  100  per  cent

      VLT.   This Court cannot issue directions that  vehicles  should  have

      glasses with 100 per cent VLT.  Rule 100 of the Rules is a valid piece

      of legislation and is  on  the  statute  book.   Once  such  provision

      exists, this Court cannot issue directions contrary to  the  provision

      of law.   Thus, we decline to grant this prayer to the petitioner.

      17.    However,  the  prayer  relating  to  issuance   of   directions

      prohibiting use of black films on the glasses  of  vehicles  certainly

      has merit.  On the plain reading of the Rule, it  is  clear  that  car

      must have safety glass having VLT at the time of manufacturing 70  per

      cent for windscreen and 50 per cent for side windows.  It should be so

      maintained in that condition thereafter.   In other  words,  the  Rule

      not impliedly, but specifically, prohibits alteration of such  VLT  by

      any means subsequent to its manufacturing.  How and  what  will  be  a

      “safety glass” has been explained in Explanation to  Rule  100.    The

      Explanation while defining ‘laminated safety  glass’  makes  it  clear

      that two or more pieces of  glass  held  together  by  an  intervening

      layers of plastic materials so that the glass is held together in  the

      event of impact.  The Rule and the explanation do not  contemplate  or

      give any leeway to the manufacturer or user of the vehicle to, in  any

      manner, tamper with the VLT.  The Rule and the IS only specify the VLT

      of the glass itself.

      18.    Two  scenarios  must  be  examined.  First,  if  the  glass  so

      manufactured already has the VLT as specified, then  the  question  of

      further reducing it by any means shall be in clear violation  of  Rule

      100 as well as the prescribed  IS.   Secondly,  the  rule  requires  a

      manufacturer to manufacture the  vehicles  with  safety  glasses  with

      prescribed VLT. It is the minimum percentage that has been  specified.

       The manufacturer may manufacture vehicle with a  higher  VLT  to  the

      prescribed limit or even  a  vehicle  with  tinted  glasses,  if  such

      glasses do not fall short of the minimum prescribed VLT  in  terms  of

      Rule 100.  None can be permitted to create his  own  device  to  bring

      down the percentage of  the  VLT  thereafter.    Thus,  on  the  plain

      reading of the Rule and the IS standards, use of black  films  of  any

      density is impermissible.  Another adverse  aspect  of  use  of  black

      films is that even if they reflect tolerable  VLT  in  the  day  time,

      still in the night it would clearly violate the prescribed VLT  limits

      and  would  result  in  poor  visibility,   which   again   would   be

      impermissible.

      19.   The legislative intent attaching due significance to the ‘public

      safety’ is evident from  the  object  and  reasons  of  the  Act,  the

      provisions  of  the  Act  and  more  particularly,  the  Rules  framed

      thereunder.  Even if we assume, for the sake of  argument,  that  Rule

      100 is capable of any interpretation, then this Court should  give  it

      an interpretation which would serve the  legislative  intent  and  the

      object of framing  such  rules,  in  preference  to  one  which  would

      frustrate  the  very  purpose  of  enacting  the  Rules  as  well   as

      undermining the public safety and interest.  Use of these black  films

      have been proved to be criminal’s paradise and a  social  evil.    The

      petitioner has rightly brought on record the unanimous view of various

      police authorities right from the States of Calcutta, Tamil  Nadu  and

      Delhi to the Ministry of Home Affairs  that  use  of  black  films  on

      vehicles has jeopardized the security  and  safety  interests  of  the

      State and public at large.   This certainly  helps  the  criminals  to

      escape from the eyes of the police and aids in commission  of  heinous

      crimes like sexual assault on women, robberies, kidnapping, etc.    If

      these crimes can be reduced by enforcing the prohibition  of  law,  it

      would further the cause of Rule of Law and Public Interest as well.

      20.   This Court in the case of  Hira  Tikoo  v.  Union  Territory  of

      Chandigarh [(2004) 6 SCC 765], while dealing with  the  provisions  of

      town planning and the land allotted to the allottees, upon  which  the

      allotees had made full payment, held that such allotment was found  to

      be contravening other statutory provisions and the allotted  area  was

      situated under the reserved forest land and land in periphery  of  900

      meters of Air Force Base.  The Court held that  there  was  no  vested

      right and public welfare should prevail as the  highest  law.    Thus,

      this Court, while relying upon the maxim  “salus  populi  est  suprema

      lex”, modified the order of the High Court holding that the  allottees

      had no vested right and the land forming part of the forest area could

      not be taken away for other purposes.  Reference can also be  made  to

      the judgment of this Court in Friends Colony Development Committee  v.

      State of Orissa [AIR 2005 SC 1], where this Court, while referring  to

      construction activity violative of the regulations and control orders,

      held that the regulations made under  Orissa  Development  Authorities

      Act, 1982 may meddle with private rights  but  still  they  cannot  be

      termed arbitrary or unreasonable.  The private  interest  would  stand

      subordinate to public good.

      21.   In the present case as well, even if some  individual  interests

      are likely to suffer, such individual or private interests  must  give

      in to the larger public interest.  It is the duty of all  citizens  to

      comply with the law.  The Rules  are  mandatory  and  nobody  has  the

      authority in law to mould these rules for the purposes of  convenience

      or luxury and certainly not for crime.  We may also note that a  Bench

      of this Court, vide its Order  dated  15th  December,  1998  in  Civil

      Appeal No. 3700 of 1999 titled Chandigarh Administration and Others v.

      Namit Kumar & Ors., had permitted the use of  ‘light  coloured  tinted

      glasses’ only while specifically disapproving  use  of  films  on  the

      vehicles.  Subsequently, in the same case, but on  a  different  date,

      another Bench of this Court vide its order reported at [(2004)  8  SCC

      446] made a direction that mandate of sub-Rule (2) of Rule  100  shall

      be kept in mind while dealing with such cases.

      22.   Rightly so, none of the orders of this Court have permitted  use

      of black films.  Rule 100(2)  specifies  the  VLT  percentage  of  the

      glasses at the time of  manufacture  and  to  be  so  maintained  even

      thereafter.  In Europe, Regulation No. 43 of the  Economic  Commission

      for Europe of the United Nations (UN/ECE) and  in  Britain,  the  Road

      Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations, 1986, respectively, refer

      to the International Standard ISO 3538 on this  issue,  providing  for

      VLT percentage of 70 and 75 per cent respectively.

      23.   In light of the above  discussion,  we  have  no  hesitation  in

      holding that use of black films or  any  other  material  upon  safety

      glass, windscreen and side windows is  impermissible.    In  terms  of

      Rule 100(2), 70 per cent and 50 per cent VLT standard are relatable to

      the manufacture of the safety glasses for the windshields  (front  and

      rear) and the side windows respectively. Use of  films  or  any  other

      material upon the windscreen or the side windows is  impermissible  in

      law.   It is the VLT  of  the  safety  glass  without  any  additional

      material being pasted upon the safety glasses which must conform  with

      manufacture specifications.

      24.   Another issue that has been raised in the present Writ  Petition

      is that certain VIPs/VVIPs are using black films on their vehicles for

      security reasons.   Even this practice is not supported by law, as  no

      notification by the  competent  authority  has  been  brought  to  our

      notice, giving exemption to such vehicles from the operation  of  Rule

      100 or any of its provisions.   Be that as it may, we do not  wish  to

      enter upon the arena of the security  and  safety  measures  when  the

      police  department  and  Home   Ministry   consider   such   exemption

      appropriate.   The cases of the persons who have been provided with  Z

      and Z+ security category may be considered by a  Committee  consisting

      of the Director  General  of  Police/Commissioner  of  Police  of  the

      concerned State and the Home Secretary of that State/Centre.   It will

      be for that Committee to examine such cases for grant of exemption  in

      accordance  with  law  and  upon  due  application  of  mind.    These

      certificates should be provided only in relation to official  cars  of

      VIPs/VVIPs, depending upon the category of security that  such  person

      has been  awarded  by  the  competent  authority.     The  appropriate

      government is free to  make  any  regulations  that  it  may  consider

      appropriate in this regard.

      25.   The competent  officer  of  the  traffic  police  or  any  other

      authorized person shall challan such vehicles for violating  Rules  92

      and 100 of the Rules with effect from the specified date and thereupon

      shall also remove the black films from the offending vehicles.

      26.   The manufacturer of the vehicle  may  manufacture  the  vehicles

      with tinted glasses which have  Visual  Light  Transmission  (VLT)  of

      safety glasses windscreen (front and rear) as 70 per cent VLT and side

      glasses as 40 per cent VLT, respectively.   No black film or any other

      material can be pasted on  the  windscreens  and  side  glasses  of  a

      vehicle.

      27.   For the reasons afore-stated, we prohibit the use of black films

      of any VLT percentage or any other material upon the  safety  glasses,

      windscreens  (front  and  rear)  and  side  glasses  of  all  vehicles

      throughout    the    country.    The    Home    Secretary,    Director

      General/Commissioner of Police of the respective  States/Centre  shall

      ensure compliance with this direction.   The directions  contained  in

      this judgment shall become operative and enforceable with effect  from

      4th May, 2012.

      28.   With the above directions, we partially allow this writ petition

      and prohibit use of black films of any percentage VLT upon the  safety

      glasses, windscreens (front and rear)  and  side  glasses.    However,

      there shall be no order as to costs.
