Kerala HC moved against bid to make location tracker mandatory in public vehicles
Kochi: A petition has been filed in high court seeking a declaration that Rule 151A of the Kerala motor vehicle rules, which mandates the installation of vehicle location tracking devices (VLTD) and emergency buttons in all public service and goods vehicles, is ultra vires the parent Act and non-est in law. The bench of Justice C P Mohamed Nias, while considering the petition filed by the partners of a driving school in Kochi, directed the central and state govts to file affidavits in the matter and adjourned the matter to Aug 27. The petitioners alleged that the state govt amended the Rules without authority, asserting that only the central govt has the power to make such amendments. It was also pointed out that Section 110(1)(k) of the Act specifically empowers the central govt to make rules regulating the standards of vehicle components, including software used as in-built safety devices. Additionally, the petitioners cited a previous HC decision which held that state authorities have no rule-making power with respect to instructional equipment or the installation of VLTDs in driving school vehicles. The petitioners further prayed for the striking down of the provision mandating the installation of VLTDs and emergency buttons in all goods vehicles, including those owned and used by motor driving schools solely for instructional purposes.
