More number of cases was booked against cars using improper number plates and tinted glasses in violation of the stipulated limit. “Cars are allowed only up to 30 percent of tinting in window. Many had violated these rules. Hence, they were booked under Section 177 of the Motor Vehicles Act,” said the SSP (Traffic).
