"No black film or any material can be pasted on the windscreens or side glasses of a vehicle," the bench said, imposing a complete ban on plastic films in unambiguous terms.
On the Central Motor Vehicle Rules mandating minimum visibility of 70 per cent for windscreens and 50 per cent for side windows, the court said the parameters were for manufacturers but once the vehicles came into the hands of buyers the specifications could not be changed. "None can be permitted to create his own device to bring down the percentage of the VLT (Visual Light Transmission) thereafter,'' the court said.
