The Supreme Court addressed the non-compliance of various States with the High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) scheme, emphasizing the need for adherence to the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, specifically referencing Sub-section (3) of Section 109. The Court held that States must implement the HSRP scheme as per the directives issued in previous orders and the guidelines established in the case of Association of Registration Plates v.

The Court mandated that States, including Andhra Pradesh, must issue fresh tenders and complete the implementation by specified deadlines, reinforcing the importance of compliance with statutory requirements.
