Supreme Court flags 56% uninsured vehicles, calls for challans and fuel denial

The Supreme Court of India has revealed that 56% of vehicles on Indian roads are currently uninsured, raising serious concerns about road safety and financial liability. The court directed authorities to issue challans against such uninsured vehicles as a strict enforcement measure. Additionally, the Supreme Court suggested that uninsured vehicles should be denied fuel as a further deterrent to curb the widespread non-compliance. The observations highlight a significant gap in enforcement of mandatory motor vehicle insurance laws across the country.
