Police job is to seize the vehicles. In such circumstances, no forced should be done regarding old or overseas vehicles.
During the hearing, the Chief Justice said that earlier cars were used for 40 to 50 years. Even today there are vintage cars. Issue notice. Answer this in 4 weeks. During this time no punitive action should be taken against the owners of alleged over -edged vehicles that their diesel vehicles are 10 years old while petrol vehicles are 15 years old.
