Gujarat High Court Slams Police Inaction Over Traffic Violation
Imagine the High Court is like a school principal who wants everyone to follow the rules.
The principal saw a car with the school's name on it breaking the rules, driving the wrong way.
The principal was upset because this sends the wrong message.
It is important for everyone, even people in charge, to follow the law.
The High Court wants everyone to be safe, like the principal wants students to be safe.
The court is also happy that the police are teaching kids about traffic rules and wants the city to be safe.
Gujarat High Court criticized police inaction over a vehicle with an HC sticker driving on the wrong side.
The court stated that the law must be applied uniformly, without discrimination, even to those associated with the High Court.
The court observed that the judiciary's efforts to promote road safety are undermined when officials violate rules.
The court appreciated the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Ahmedabad, for running traffic awareness campaigns.
The High Court emphasized the importance of consistent enforcement and punishment to deter traffic violations.
