Police cannot requisition private cars, CNG-run auto-rickshaw and taxi, the High Court said on Wednesday.
The HC issued nine directives on police over the requisitioning of vehicles.
All requisition of vehicles must be for the public interest and if it is not for public interest, legal action must be taken against the responsible police officer, it said.
The requisitioned vehicle cannot be used for the officer’s personal or family purpose. If the requisitioned vehicle is used for personal and family purpose of any police officer, that will be a misconduct and appropriate action must be taken to this effect.
If any allegation is filed about requisition of transport, the metropolitan police commissioner will investigate and take necessary action.
The High Court said, a vehicle cannot be requisitioned more than one time in six months.
