https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=182291 Motorcycle and scooter helmet requirements fall within the State Government's broad rule-making power under the Motor Vehicles Act to prevent danger and injury to road users, including riders. Specific examples in the enabling provision do not restrict that general safety power. Mandatory helmet use does not violate freedom of movement under Article 19(1)(d), because it promotes public welfare and constitutes a reasonable restriction in the interest of the general public under Article 19(5). It also does not infringe Article 21 where imposed under lawful authority. Potential medical discomfort does not invalidate the requirement. The helmet rule and its enforcement notification remain valid. en-us Mon, 29 Aug 1988 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 06 May 2016 17:32:13 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=182291 Motorcycle and scooter helmet requirements fall within the State Government's broad rule-making power under the Motor Vehicles Act to prevent danger and injury to road users, including riders.
