India's Supreme Court has suggested a nationwide ban on fuel sales to compel vehicle owners to obtain mandatory motor insurance.
The Supreme Court of India has recommended a nationwide ban on fuel sales as a measure to enforce mandatory motor insurance for all vehicles. The suggestion comes amid growing concerns over the large number of uninsured vehicles on Indian roads. By halting fuel distribution until compliance is achieved, the court aims to compel vehicle owners to secure the required insurance coverage. The proposal is still under deliberation, and the court has indicated that further steps will be taken once the policy is finalized.
