Summarize the following court judgment. ecial Leave Petition (C) No. 1252 of 1988. From the Judgment and Order dated 10.8.87 of the Andhra Pradesh High Court in W.P. 10800187. P.A. Choudhary	 TVSN Chari	 C. Badrinath and Mrs. Sunitha Rao for the Petitioner. K.Parasaran	 Attorney General G. Chandra and A. Sub hashini for the Respondents. The Judgment of the Court was delivered by Dutt	 J. The only question that is involved in this petition relates to the validity of rule 498 A of Andhra Pradesh Motor Vehicles Rules	 1964 and a notification dated July 8	 1986 issued by the respondent No. 3	 the Commissioner of Police	 Hyderabad and Secunderabad	 In exercise of his Powers under section 21(1.) of the Hyderabad City Police Act	 inter alia	 directing that in order to ensure adequate safety of two wheeler riders	 wearing of protective helmets is made compulsory for riders of motor cycles and scooters	 as envisaged by rule 498 A	 with effect from August 1	 1986. Rule 498 A provides as follows: "Rule 4983 A. Crash helmets to be worn No person shall drive a motor cycle or a scooter in a public place unless such driver wears a crash helmet: Provided that nothing in this rule shall apply to a person professing Sikh religion and wears a turban. ' ' The petitioner	 who is a student and has a permanent drivined licence for a two wheeler vehicle	 filed a writ petition in the Andhra Pradesh High Court challenging the validity of the said notification as also of rule 498 A on the ground that the same was violative of the rights of the petitioner as guaranteed under Article 19(l)(d) and Article PG NO 636 21 of the Constitution of India. It was contended by the petitioner before the High Court that as section 85 A of the was yet to be enforced	 rule 498 A was illegal and ultra vires the . It was also contended that the wearing of helmets preventing the free flow of breeze to the head would result in giddiness and affect sight and hearing. The petitioner filed an affidavit of one Dr. Prabhakar Korada wherein it has been stated inter alia that continuous wearing of helmets can raise the pressure leading to irritation	 confusion	 headaches	 giddiness	 falling of hair etc. The High Court has overruled the contentions of the petitioner that the said notification or the provision of rule 498 A of the Andhra Pradesh Motor Vehicles rules is violative of Article 19(1)(d) or Article 21 of the Constitution or that it is illegal or ultra vires the provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act	1939. The High Court also relied upon medical opinions of some Neuro Surgeons of repute and came to the finding that wearing of helmets would not cause any ailment whatsoever as contended by the petitioner. In that view of the matter	 the High Court dismissed the writ petition upholding the validity of the notification and the provision of rule 498 A of Andhra Pradesh Motor Vehicle Rules. Hence this petition for special leave. At this stage	 it may be noticed that by motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act XXVII of 1977 a new section 85 A was inserted in the 	 hereinafter referred to as 'the Act ' Section 85 A provides as follow: "section 85 A Every person driving or riding (otherwise than in a side car) on a motor cycle of any class shall	 while in a public place. wear a protective headgear of such description as may be specified by the Central Government by rules made by it in this behalf	 and different descriptions of headgears may be specified in such rules in relation to deferent circumstances or different class of motor cycles: Provided that the provisions of this section shall not apply to a person who is a Sikh	 if he is	while driving or riding on the motor cycle	 in a public place	 wearing a turban: Provided further that the Central Government may	 by such rules	 provide for such exceptions as it may think fit. " Sub section (2) of section 1 of Act XXVII of 1977 provides that the Amendment Act shall come into force on such date as the Central Government may	 by notification in the Official Gazette	 appoint and different dates may be appointed for different provisions of the Amendment Act. In view of sub section (2) of section 1 of Act XXVll of 1977	 the Central Government by a notification dated May 14	 1980 fixed November 1 1980 as the date on which the provision of section 85 A would come into force. But	 by another notification dated October 3 1	 1980	 the earlier notification dated May 14	 1480 fixing the date of enforcement of section 85 A as November 1	 1980 was cancelled. It is contended by Mr. Ghatate	 learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner	 that in view of the cancellation of the notification dated May 14	 1980	 section 85 A has not come into force and	 as such	 there is no provision in the providing for wearing of protective headgear or helmet by the driver of a motor cycle of any class while driving the same. It is submitted that in the absence of any specific provision in the Act	 rule 498 A is ultra vires the Act itself and	 consequently	 the impugned notification issued under section 21(1) of the Hyderabad City Police Act is illegal and should be struck down. As there was some doubt as to whether section 85 A had come into force by virtue of the notification date May14 1980 and whether the Central Government had the power to cancel l the said notification by the subsequent notification dated October31	1980	 we thought it expedient to request the learned Attorney General to appear and assist the Court. In compliance with our request	 the learned Attorney General has appeared before us	 but we are of the view that no assistance will by necessary on the point	 as we do not think that we are for the reasons state called upon to adjudicate upon the question hereafter. The learned Attorney General has	 however	 assisted us in disposing of this petition	 and we are thankful to him. We shall proceed on the assumption that section 85 A has not yet been enforced by the Central Government. We may now deal with the question as to the legality or otherwise of rule 498 A. The said rule has been framed by the State Government by virtue of its rule making power under clause (i) of sub section (2) of section 91 of the Act. PG NO 637 Sub section ( 1) of section 91 and clause (i) of sub section (2) provide as follows: "91(1) The State Government may make rules for the purpose of carrying into effect the provisions of this Chapter. (2) Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing power	 such rules may provide for (i) generally	 the prevention of danger	 injury or annoyance to the public or any person	 or of danger or injury to property or of obstruction to traffic;" It is urged on behalf of the petitioner that rule 498 A does not and cannot come within the rule making power of the State under clause (i) of sub section (2) of section 19 of the Act	 for it does not refer to the driver of a motor cycle or scooter. It is true that clause (i) does not refer to the driver of a motor cycle or a scooter	 but it is much wider inasmuch as it provides	 inter alia	 for the prevention of danger	 injury or annoyance to the public or any person. It is not disputed that rule 498 A has been framed for the purpose of protecting the head from being injured in cast of an accident. It is common knowledge that head of the driver of a two wheeler vehicle is the main target of an accident and often it is fatal to the driver. By insisting on the wearing of a helmet by the driver driving a two wheeler vehicle rule 498 A intends to protect the head from being fatally injured in case of an accident. Clause (i) is wide enough to include the driver of a motor cycle or a scooter. The expression "any person"in clause (i) also inlucdes within it a driver of a two wheeler vehicle. We are unable to accept the contention of the learned Counsel for the petitioner that the words "any person" do not include the driver of a two wheeler vehicle and the rule is intended to prevent the danger	 injury or annoyance to the public or any person other than the driver of a two wheeler vehicle. In our view	 clause (i) is also intended for the prevention ot danger	 injury or annoyance to the public or any person including the driver of a two wheeler vehicle. In our view. clause (i) is also in Tended for the prevention of danger	 injury or annoyance to the public or any person including the driver of a two wheeler vehicle. rule 498 A is	 therefore	 quite legal and valid	 in spite of the absence of any provision like section 85 A. PG NO 638 It is submitted by the learned Attorney General that even assuming that rule 498 A does not come within the purview of clause (i) of sub section (2) of section 91	 still the State Government could frame such a rule under sub section ( 1) of section 9 1. The learned Attorney General submits that the clauses under sub section (2) of section 91 are only illustrative and not exhaustive and the power is real under sub section (1). In support of his contention	 he has referred to a decision of this Court in Om Prakash and others vs Union oflndia and others	 AIR 1971 SC 77 1 where it has been observed by this Court that it is a well established proposition of law that where specific power is conferred without prejudice to the generally of the general power already specified	 the particular power is only illustrative and does not in any way restrict the general power. In the instant case also	 the general power is in sub section (1) and sub section (Z) contains illust rations and does not	 in any way	 restrict the general power under sub section (1). Thus	 even assuming that rule 498 A is not covered by clause (i) of sub section (2)	 it is quite immateriaI inasmuch as such a rule can be framed in exercise of the general power under sub section (1) for the purpose ot carrying into effect Chapter V1 relating to con trol of traffic. There is	 therefor	 no substance in the contention of the petitioner that rule 498 A is ultra vires the provision of the Act. The next attack to rule 498 A and to the impugned notification is based on the fundamental right of a Citizen. It is submitted that the compulsion for the wearing of a helmet by the driver of two wheeler vehicle is an infringement of the freedom of movement of such a driver	as guaranteed by Article 19(1)(d) do the Constitution	 and that such compulsion be rule 498 A interfering with the freedom of movement	 not having made in accordance with the procedure established by law	 is also violative of Article 21 of the Constitution. The contention does not at all commend to us. Rule 498 A ensures protection and safety to the head of the driver of a two wheeler vehicle in case of an accident. There can be no doubt that rule 498 A is framed for the benefit	 welfare and the safe journey by a person in a two wheeler vehicle. It aims at prevention of any accident being fatal to the driver of a two wheeler vehicle causing annoyance to the public and obstruction to the flow of traffic for the time being. It is difficult to accept the contention of the petitioner that the compulsion for putting on a headgear or helmet by the driver	 as provided by rule 498 A	restricts or curtails the freedom of movement. On the contrary	 in our opinion	 it helps the driver of a two wheeler vehicle to drive the vehicle in exercise of his freedom of movement without being subjected to a constant apprehension of a fatal head injury	 if any accident takes PG NO 640 place. We do not think that there is any fundamental right against any act aimed at doing some public good. Even assuming that the impugned rule has put a restriction on the exercise of a fundamental right under Article 19(1)(d) such restriction being in the interest of the general public	 is a reasonable restriction protected by Article 19(5) of the Constitution. As rule 498 A has been framed in accordance with the procedure established by law	 that is	 in exercise of the rule making power conferred on the State Government under section 91 of the Act	 as discussed above	 the question of infringement of Article 21 of the Constitution does not arise. The contention of the petitioner that rule 498 A and the impugned notification dated July 8	1986 issued by the Commissioner of Police in exercise of his powers under section 21(1) of the Hyderabad City Police Act	 infringe the fundamental right of the petitioner under Article 19(l)(d) and Article 21 of the Constitution	 is devoid of merit and is rejected. As to the contention of the petitioner that the wearing of the helmet causes some ailments	 we do not think that there is any merit in the contention	 particularly in view of the medical opinions of some Neuro Surgeons of repute	 as referred to by the High Court in its judgment. The contention has not also been seriously pressed before us. The High Court was	 therefore	 perfectly justified in rejecting the contention. For the reasons aforesaid	 the special leave petition is dismissed. As no notice has been served on the respondent	 there will be no order as to costs. N.V.K. Petition dismissed.

The Commissioner of Police	 Hyderabad and Secunderabad	 in exercise of his powers under Section 21(1) of the Hyderabad City Police Act	 issued a Notification dated July 8	1986 directing that in order to ensure adequate safety of two wheeler riders	 wearing of protective helmets is made compulsory for riders of motor cycles and scooters	 as envisaged by rule 498 A of the Andhra Pradesh Motor Vehicles Rules	 1964 with effect from August 1	1986. The petitioner	 a student having a permanent driving licence for a two wheeler vehicle	 filed a writ petition in the High Court challenging the validity of the aforesaid Notification as also rule 499 A of the Andhra Pradesh Motor Vehicles Rules	 l964 on the ground that the same was violative of the fundamental rights guaranteed to the petitioner under Article 13(1)(d) and Article 21 of the Constitution. It was contended by the petitioner that as Section 85A of the was yet to be enforced	 rule 498 A was illegaI and ultra vires the Motor PG NO 632 PG NO 633 Vehicles Act	 1939. It was further contended that the wearing of helmets preventing the free flow of breeze to the head result in giddiness and affect sight and hearing. The petitioner also filed an affidavit of one Dr. Prabhakar Korada to support the contention that continuous wearing of helmets can raise the pressure leading to irritation	 confusion	 headaches	 giddiness and falling of hair etc. The High Court overruled the contentions of the petitioner and upheld the validity of the notification and the provisions of rule 498 A of the A.P. Motor Vehicles Rules. The High Court also relied upon the medical opinions of some Neuro Surgeons of repute	 and came to the finding that wearing of helmets would not cause any ailment whatsoever as contended by the petitioner. The writ petition was accordingly dismissed. The petitioner appealed to this Court by Special Leave. It was contended on his behalf that in view of the cancellation of the notification dated May 14	 1988	 Section 85 A had not come into force and as such	 there was no provision in the providing for wearing of protective headgear or helmet by the driver of a motor cycle of any class while driving the same. It was also submitted that in the absence of any specific provision in the Act	 rule 498 A was ultra vires the Act itself and consequently	 the notification issued under Section 21(1) of the Hyderabad City Police Act was illegal and should he struck down. As there was some doubt whether Section 85 A had come into force by virtue of the notification dated May l4	 I988 and whether the Central Government had the power to cancel the said notification by their subsequent notification dated October 31	 l980. the Court issued notice to the Attorney General of India	 who appeared and relying on the decision in Om Prakash and Others vs Union of India and Others	 AIR l97l SC 771 submitted that even assuming that rule 498 A does not come within the purview of clause (i) of sub section (2) of section 91	 still the State Government could frame such a rule under sub section (1) of section 91 and that the clauses under sub section (2) of section 91 are only illustrative and not exhaustive. Dismissing the special leave petition	 HELD: 1. Rule 498 A has been framed by the State Government by virtue of its rule making power under clause (i) of sub section (2) of section 19 of the purpose of protecting the head from being injured in case of an accident.[l638E] PG NO 634 2. It is common knowledge that head of the driver of a two wheeler vehicle is the main target of an accident and often it is fatal to the driver. By insisting on the wearing of a helmet by the driver driving a two wheeler vehicle	 rule 498 A intends to protect the head from being totally injured in the case of an accident. Clause (i) is wide enough to include the driver of a motor cycle or a scooter. The expression "any person"in clause (i) also includes within it a driver of a two wheeler vehicle. [638E F] 3. Clause (i) is also intended for the prevention of danger	 injury or annoyance to the public or any person including the driver of a two wheeler vehicle. [638G] 4. Rule 498 A is	 therefore	 quite legal and valid	 in spite of the absence of any provision like section 85 A. [638H] 5. There can be no doubt that rule 498 A is framed for the benefit	 welfare and the safe journey by a person in a two wheeler vehicle. It aims at prevention of any accident being fatal to the driver of a two wheeler vehicle causing annoyance to the public and obstruction to the free flow of traffic for the time being.[639G] 6. Even assuming that rule 498 A is not clause (i) of sub section (2)	 it is quite immaterial inasmuch as such a rule can be framed in exercise of the general power under sub section (1) for the purpose of carrying into effect Chapter V1 relating to control of traffic. [639D] 7. There is hardly any fundamental right against any act aimed at doing some public good. [640A] 8. Even assuming that rule 498 A has put a restriction on the exercise of a fundamental right under Article 19 (1)(b)	 such restriction being in the interest of the general public	 is a reasonable restriction protected by Article 19(5) of the Constitution. [64OB] 9. As rule 498 A has been framed in accordance with procedure established by law	 that is	 in exercise of the ulre making power conferred on the State Government under Section 19 of the 	 the question of infringement of Article 21 of the Constitution does not arise [640B] PG NO 635 10. Rule 498 A helps the driver or a two wheeler to drive the vehicle in exercise of his freedom of movement without being subjected to a constant apprehension of a fatal head injury	 if any accident takes place.[639H]
