terrorists or anyone with malicious intent.The directions by the court came
while disposing of an NGO’s plea seeking to enforce the display of registration
number on cars of constitutional authorities like President, the Vice President,
Governors and Lieutenant Governors, and dignitaries.

such vehicles registered.The NGO, in its plea, had said that a person meeting

any claim against it.D13.The MEA had said that some vehicles used by it to ferry
dignitaries would soon be displaying registration numbers. Hari Shankar said
