Gujarat High Court Criticizes Police Inaction on Traffic Violation
Imagine the High Court is like the principal of a school.
They saw someone, maybe a teacher, breaking a rule - driving on the wrong side of the road!
The principal said the police, who are like the school security, should give everyone the same rules and punishment, no matter who they are.
They are not above the law.
The principal wants to stop people from breaking traffic rules because they are trying to keep everyone safe.
Gujarat High Court criticized police inaction regarding a vehicle with an HC sticker driving on the wrong side of the road.
