AHMEDABAD: Sixteen years after it ordered the state authorities to implement the mandatory helmet rule for two-wheeler riders, the Gujarat high court on Thursday asked them why they were not enforcing the rule and making it mandatory for riders to wear protective headgear.
The bench of Chief Justice Aravind Kumar and Justice Ashutosh Shastri stressed on the state government’s responsibility to enforce the helmet rule during the hearing of a contempt application filed by two women who were beaten up by traffic cops in December 2021.
