BY GP K C SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/02/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO. 6194 OF 2010 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 25TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is engaged in distribution of gas cylinders. He has purchased a TATA 407 vehicle for the purpose of supplying LPG gas cylinders. However, when he took it for registration, his application was not entertained on the ground that his vehicle was not fitted with the Antilock Braking System(ABS). It is the case of the petitioner that the ABS is not readily available in the local market and that the same could be procured only at considerable expenses and delay. Therefore, he prays that the vehicle may be registered without insisting on the same being fitted with ABS as a condition for registering the vehicle. He assures that the ABS could be procured and fitted on to the vehicle within a period of three months. 2. The Government Pleader has no objection to the grant of time for complying with the said condition. 3. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to register the vehicle TATA 407 belonging Wpc 6194/2010 2 to the petitioner, having Chassis No. MAT357514498N 35039 and Engine No.497SPTC35NQZ850043 on condition that the petitioner would instal the ABS on to the vehicle within a period of three months from today.
