"The state government (Maharashtra) has also said that manufacturers do not have speed governors. Then it is better that the union government relaxes the rule for sometime. You (government) can make something compulsory only when it is available," a division bench of Justices S M Kemkar and G S Kulkarni said.
The bench was hearing a petition filed by the Mumbai Taximens' Union challenging the government's decision ordering installation of speed governors.
"The ministry concerned of the union government is directed to consider the letter and take appropriate decision. The petitioner can also make a representation before the union government on the issue," the court directed.
The court noted that speed governors was only one of the many solutions to ensure speed limits are being strictly followed by vehicles on the road.
