1. The legal status of the ban is that the RTO's in Delhi have supposedly been issued a circular, prohibiting them from renewing the registration of vehicles older than 15 years. ! |

| An argument has been advanced before us to say that banning of 15 years old vehicles in Delhi would be unfair to the owners of the cars and consequently if cars are sent outside Delhi it would mean that they will cause pollution in other cities and hence, it would shift the pollution. This submission is not only misconceived but void of reasoning as well. Foremost, it pre-supposes that the vehicles of more than 15 years age are not causing pollution. The direction for not permitting the 15 years old vehicles to ply in Delhi may cause some hardship but certainly that hardship on individual or group of individuals must give way to the public cause of better environment and public health, which as per constitutional mandate is the fundamental right of the public at large. Individual rights must concede in favour of public rights. Furthermore a 15 year old vehicle may have greater adverse impact on the air quality and environment in a congested area with heavy vehicles density in comparison to when it is driven in an area which is open, with thin vehicle density has a greener belt and wider air dispersion possibility. It is an established fact that particulate problem is most severe in the area having dense population coupled with heavy traffic intensity. Although new engine design have come into existence to reduce emission but the gain has got over shadowed the increasing number of vehicles and the increasing miles travelled per vehicle per year (Wargo et al 2006; Environment and Human Health Inc. Connecticut, USA) with heavy engine. We have to give precedence to the environment and public health and, therefore, the directions must be adhered to without delay and default. Having considered various aspects and after seriously pondering over the suggestions made at the Bar or in the Chamber meeting, we are of the considered view that further directions are called for in the larger public interest and to ensure prevention of air pollution emanating from the three primary sources aforestated. |
| The DTC shall ensure that every bus belonging to DTC or operating under its directions is subjected to mechanical check up through computerised system once every month and will be subjected to check for PUC atleast twice a month. |

Thanks I'm still a little confused when I read this. on the one hand (article 1) it says no 15 year or older vehicles. But then at the end of the third article it seems that if you have a valid registration prior this new rule coming into affect, you vehicle is excempt? You wont be able to renew, but if your just renewed your registration certificate one day before this new rule came into affect, are you good to go for five years? Thanks Jeroen |

From the DTP notice it seems that all vehicles above 15 years will be considered as unregistered motor vehicle and will be impounded. So my opinion is the registration will not matter in this case. |

If you have a valid RC on a old vehicle, you are good to go till it expires again. If its already expired, you have no way out. |
