HC asks about dignitaries’ cars having no registration numbers
New Delhi, Jan 15 (IANS) The Delhi High Court on Monday asked the Centre about the rules governing display of the national emblem instead of registration numbers on cars of constitutional authorities.
A Division Bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C. Hari Shankar asked the Centre to respond to a plea that sought to enforce display of registration numbers on VVIPs’ cars by February 26.
The Central government had sought further time to file an affidavit on the issue.
The court was hearing a public interest litigation filed by NGO Nyayabhoomi, which stated that the practice of replacing the registration numbers with the national emblem — three lion heads adapted from the Lion Capital carved on an Ashokan pillar at Sarnath in modern-day Uttar Pradesh — is both arbitrary and symptomatic of the desire to rule rather than to serve.
The plea said the practice makes the VVIP cars conspicuous and thus the dignitaries become easy targets for terrorists and anyone with malicious intent.
If a person met with an accident involving such vehicles, he cannot bring any claim against the erring persons due to absence of any identification mark, it added.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
