The
Supreme Court questioned the indiscriminate use of red beacon lights.
It also expressed its disapproval over the deployment of security for
all categories of "VIPs".
Supreme Court said we will have to stop use of red lights as insignia of authority if we don’t get proper replies from them
A Bench of Justices G.S. Singhvi and Kurian Joseph asked the States to amend the Motor Vehicle Rules to restrict the use, as well as impose exemplary fines for misuse of the facility. Those allowed to have the red beacons, but found misusing them would incur a Rs. 10,000 fine.
The Bench directed the state governments and union territories to file affidavits giving information on all those enjoying police protection and the cost borne by the government for their security.
