HIGH COURT MISC APPLICATION NO. 183 OF 2014
REPUBLIC-Vs- INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE
(IN THE MATTER OF TINTED WINDOWS)

On 11th July 2014 the High Court observed that in issuing the directive that all vehicles with tinted windows be impounded without making a distinction between public service vehicles and private ones, the Inspector General of Police (Respondent) obviously purported to exercise powers he did not have because the strict reading of Rule 54A of the Traffic Rules clearly shows that private vehicles were not brought within the ambit of the rule.

By an Order of certiorari, the directive of Inspector General of Police ordering private motor vehicles with tinted windows be impounded was removed into court for the purposes of being quashed with immediate effect.

The Court further prohibited the respondent whether by himself, his agents or persons acting under him from impounding private motor vehicles with tinted windows pursuant to the said directive or in any way effecting the same.

The Council encourages members to ensure that private motor vehicles are not harassed on account of tinted windows.
