Supreme Court Refuses To Entertain PIL Seeking Installation Of CCTV Cameras In All Vehicles

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain a Public Interest Litigation seeking to direct the Union to frame guidelines for installation of CCTV cameras in all vehicles across the country. The PIL also requested the implementation of Section 136-A of the Motor Vehicles Act, which requires the installation of body cams and dash cams in public vehicles. The petitioner sought a writ of mandamus to direct the Union of India and State Governments to frame regulations under the Motor Vehicles Act, mandating the use of dashboard cameras and rear-view cameras in all vehicles. The Motor Vehicles Act already contains provisions and amendments to incorporate the use of CCTVs for enhancing road, motor, and traffic safety.
