Advocate Argues Ban on 10 Year Old Diesel/15 Year Old PetroL Cars Not Legal
According to Mr Mukesh Kulthia, there is no legal ban on 10-year-old diesel/ 15-year-old petrol vehicles in India. He blamed government officials for imposing illegal restrictions that were in violation of the amended law. Advocate Kulthia added that these officials are falsely citing NGT and Supreme Court orders to justify their illegal tactics. Allegedly, the purpose of the ‘car bandi scam is to increase the sales of electric vehicles. The case is still going on.
Mr Mukesh Kulthia is the complainant in the above-mentioned case. He informed the court that the amended Motor Vehicles Act 2019, 2021 and 2021 states that the life of both diesel and petrol cars is 15 years, after which it is renewable for the next 5 years. So, a petrol car cannot be banned just because it is 15 years old. He added that it is illegal to seize, confiscate or ban a diesel car just because it has completed its 10-year life.
