Compensation for Unlawful ELV Seizure Not Maintainable Under Article 226; Civil Suit Required | End-of-Life Vehicle Seizure under Motor Vehicle Rules : Delhi HC
The Delhi High Court ruled that compensation for an unlawful End-of-Life Vehicle seizure cannot be claimed via a writ petition under Article 226 and must be pursued in a civil suit. This narrows writ jurisdiction and directs vehicle owners to ordinary civil remedies under the Motor Vehicle (Registration and Functions of Vehicle Scrapping Facility) Rules, 2021.
