AVISHEK GOENKA vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court addressed the alarming rise in crimes such as kidnapping and sexual assault, linking it to the use of black films on vehicle windows, which impairs visibility and aids criminal activities. The Court held that the use of such films violates the right to life and safety under Article 21 of the Constitution, and directed the prohibition of black films on vehicles, emphasizing the need for stringent law enforcement and adherence to safety standards. The judgment underscores the necessity of ensuring public safety through regulatory measures in vehicle modifications.
