Sri Y N Nanjappa vs State Of Karnataka on 30 June, 2008

2. The petitioner in the first of these petitions in WP 41561/2015, M/s Autograde International Private Limited, is said to be a private limited company engaged in the manufacture of Speed Limiting Devices, also known as Speed Governors. The said devices are intended to confine the maximum speed of the motor vehicle, to which it is fitted, to the speed limit set on the device. The speed limit so set is as notified by the Central Government under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. (Hereinafter referred to as 'the MV Act, for brevity) 8 The installation of the speed governors is made mandatory under Rule 118 of the Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989 (Hereinafter referred to as 'the CMV Rules', for brevity). Though it was in vogue since the year 2003, the State of Karnataka had issued a notification in March, 2005 for the installation of speed governors for specified vehicles. The actual installation was however, postponed from time to time. This extension being granted indefinitely, was challenged in public interest before this court. By a judgment dated 30.6.2008, in the case of Y. N. Nanjappa v. State of Karnataka in W.P.10416/2007, this court had quashed the extension orders and directed the respondents to strictly implement the rule. The said order having been challenged by the State itself, in a special leave petition before the Apex Court, the said petition was ultimately dismissed as on 18.8.2011, on an undertaking by the State that a notification would be issued to implement the rule for installation of speed governors.
