A bench of justices A K Patnaik and Swatanter Kumar pointed out that the roads of the national Capital still had numerous cars with heavily tinted windows and windscreens and that the users or owners of such vehicles, often involved in accidents, go scot-free.
The court also noted that most of these vehicles were being used by VIPs enjoying Z-category security.
"There is least implementation of the judgement. Nothing is being done even today. It is the middle class who suffers. The Z-class (VIPs with Z and Z plus category security) who commit the accidents, all have black films on them (cars)," the bench said.
The court observed that the VIPs, who were permitted to use tinted film on their vehicles but only as per due procedure, were exploiting the relaxation granted to them.
The observations from the bench came while hearing a batch of petitions filed by sun film manufacturers association and others seeking clarification as well as modification of the apex court
