2016 (7) TMI 1502 - SC - Indian LawsImplementation of Scheme of High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) - Rule making power Under Section 64 of the MV Rules - Held that:- M/s. Utsav Safety Systems Pvt. Ltd. (M/s. Utsav) has got a tender for manufacturing HSRPs at least in seven states by entering into Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) either with M/s. Linkpoint or with M/s. Rosmerta - As per the report of the inspecting team dated 29.11.2013, M/s. Rosmerta-Assam Plant had manufactured a total number of 5725221 blank HSRPs and distributed to consortium partners of all States. However, M/s. Rosmerta has not been granted the CoP certificate from the testing agency, evidently the HSRPs manufactured at M/s. Rosmerta Assam Plant could not have been verified by the testing agency. There seems to be prima facie violation of Rule 50 of CMV Rules and orders passed by this Court. The question is whether the Respondents/officials are to be proceeded against for wilful disobedience of the various orders passed by this Court. In the facts and circumstances of the case, we are not inclined to initiate contempt proceedings against the Respondents. M/s. Utsav has given an undertaking to the effect that in future it shall not outsource the blank plate manufacturing as jobwork and that the HSRP scheme will be implemented as per the terms and conditions of the contract. Though we are not inclined to initiate the contempt proceedings yet in order to enable the statutory authorities to keep a control over the implementation of the scheme, it is necessary to issue directions/guidelines for proper implementation of the HSRP Scheme - contempt petitions are disposed of.
