The record
Written by software from the 1 report below. The points restate them; where one says why it matters, that is Prism's reading, not a reported fact.
- A private firm from Bengaluru filed a petition at the Madras High Court challenging a government order that mandates digital-only issuance of driver's licenses and vehicle registration certificates.
- The petitioner argues that the mandate violates existing Central Motor Vehicles Act provisions and predates necessary amendments to state motor vehicle laws.
- The court directed the Tamil Nadu government to submit its response within two weeks.
- This case addresses the legal validity of the transition from physical document issuance to an exclusively digital system.
