True, Honourbae SC is the highest law authority in our country & people should respect its verdict.

But some facts of the above verdict is merely dumping incapabilities on the part of all authorities onto common man.

1) Police doesnt have enough number of light meters [frustration]

2) Why are sunflims below the RTO rating available in the market in the first place? [anger]

If the authorities responsible arent able to control / provide basic needs for better enforcement of laws, the only way is to harass common man. Great going by the Honourable SC. And hats off to the person who filed the PIL.

I second this, the incapability of government/police/authorities cannot be imposed as a rule to public. There are plenty of films available in market which can satisfy the VLT factor.

Even I have put very light film in my car (only for back glass).

Law makers are not going to amend the law in favour of the mango people. So, mangoes are bound to break the rule to survive under the 45 deg Sun. :-)

I agree with all of you about the troubles with this verdict, but remember there are two parts to it. 1) as the citizens of the country we need to obey the verdict of highest law authority of the country 2) at the same time any person is open to file a petition about such verdict explaining all the problems like the privacy, sun effect, problems with cops etc., and fight in a legal way.

I cannot dare to question the verdict on a open public forum, but I am ready to fight it in a legal way

Incapability or money making tactics. Police/Government don't have light meters/instruments or manpower to impose the VLT specifications but have enough resources to catch and fine the common man[frustration].

And since there is no ban on selling/manufacture of auto sunfilms, there will always be bakras on road to make this a never ending income cycle.

I agree with you Gurrala.
If someone really feels against the ruling, please go and take it legally, please stop showing off on public forum by telling everyone that today you got fined by cops and still using the sun films.

Agree with you guys. We should fight for minimal shades through legal/proper channel. Feel really bad seeing people say ' proudly' that I got fined and still not removed etc, then talk about others bad driving /bad behaviour.

As a forum, we too have responsibility in maintaining the dignity of this forum. If not, tomorrow someone will start a topic for pirated software , music and movies.

No offense to anyone.

The simplest thing would be to give authority to put sunfilms which are 70VLT to the car dealers only & not to any accessory shop. This will automatically cut the misuse as no dark films will be available, atleast openly.

Why not make it compulsory for manufacturers to put tinted glass with 70 VLT.

Re: Supreme Court’s Order – No Sunfilms Allowed from 4th May 2012

The Transport Department has asked vehicle owners to remove black film or similar materials on the wind screen and safety glasses before June 17 to avoid suspension of vehicle registration.

Ultimatum on use of sun control films

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM:
In a statement issued here on Thursday, the Department said cancellation of registration would also be made if the offence was repeated.

The direction is in the wake of the guidelines issued by the Union Road Transport and Highways Ministry to ensure implementation of the Supreme Court verdict in this regard.

The apex court had on April 27, 2012, ordered that black films or any other similar materials which block visibility should not be allowed on the wind screens and window glasses from May 4, 2012.

But, rampant violation of the Supreme Court order was reported in the state which forced the Transport Department to go for tough action.

Also read this
The State Transport Commissioner has asked motorists to remove sun films on the windscreens and windows of their vehicles by June 17.

An official release, quoting the Transport Commissioner, said the registration of the erring vehicle would be suspended initially and later cancelled if the sun film was not removed.

BTW, I have sent my Scorpio to the nearby car accessory shop to get the film removed today.
