Srinagar Police warns action against vehicle owners for tinted films

In an effort to enhance road safety and uphold the rule of law, the Srinagar Police have taken a proactive stance by issuing a strong warning to all vehicle owners under their jurisdiction.

All vehicle owners are instructed to immediately remove tinted films from all glasses, failing which vehicle will be seized & legal action will follow. No film of any transparency is allowed at all as per Hon'ble Supreme Court judgment in Writ Petition (civil ) no 265 of 2011. pic.twitter.com/Q1Erg7n3hs

The police are urging the elimination of tinted films that obstruct transparency and visibility through vehicle glasses. Failure to adhere to this directive will result in swift vehicle seizure, followed by legal action against those in violation.

This measure comes as a response to a judgment delivered by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Writ Petition (Civil) No. 265 of 2011, which unequivocally prohibits the use of tinted films on vehicle glasses.

The authorities are resolute in their approach and committed to enforcing the ban to ensure compliance with the court’s ruling and promote road safety for all.
