Delhi HC Slams State Over Unregulated Used Car Market After Red Fort Blast

• Delhi HC criticized the Delhi government for failing to regulate the sale and transfer of used vehicles.
• A PIL by Towards Happy Earth Foundation highlighted non-implementation of Central Motor Vehicles Rules 55A-55H.
• The Court cited the Red Fort bomb blast, which used an untraced second-hand car, as a critical example.
• The Hyundai i20 used in the blast was sold multiple times but its RC was never transferred from the original owner.
• Despite rules, no used car dealers are registered in Delhi, exposing major security gaps.

Why It Matters: Delhi HC demands action on unregulated used car sales, citing security risks from untraced vehicles.
