India TV News

Petitioner K K Rajendran has sought a direction to the government to implement the Motor Vehicle Act provisions that make compulsory wearing of helmet by two-wheeler and pillion riders. The court further said despite reminders, authorities were not issuing orders as directed by it for empowering special sub-inspectors of police to discharge the duties and functions of SI for effective enforcement of rules on wearing helmets. Referring to an order issued by the state government in 2007, the judges observed, it had then said the rule related to mandatory wearing of helmet by two-wheeler riders would be implemented in a phased manner within a year, but it had taken nearly 12 years now.
