The Supreme Court addressed the implementation of the High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) scheme under Section 41(6) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and Rule 50 of the Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989. The Court emphasized the necessity of adhering to the specifications outlined in its previous judgment in Association of Registration Plates v.

The Court directed the State and Union Territories to ensure compliance with the established norms for HSRP, thereby reinforcing the legal obligation to implement the statutory provisions effectively.
