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)

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.
