Fitness certificates to vehicles without independent test is illegal: HC

Mumbai, Mar 29: The Bombay High Court on Wednesday said that the Maharashtra Government’s practice of issuing fitness certificates to private vehicles without conducting an independent test was illegal and in breach of its previous orders.

Therefore, the state government must take a decision on amending its rules and circulars on the issue and inform the court of its decision, a bench of justices A S Oka and R I Chagla said.
The bench was hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Shrikant Karve, a Right to Information (RTI) activist from Pune. UNI
