The petitioner is aggrieved with the non issuance of fitness certificate which, the petitioner contends, is by reason of the refusal of the 1st respondent to test the vehicle. 2. The official respondent has filed a statement in which it has been clearly stated that the petitioner produced the vehicle for inspection and on inspection, it was found that there is an extension which is not permitted as per the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (for short 'the Act'). It was hence , a memo was issued as indicated in Annexure-R1A dated 20.08.2014 to produce the vehicle for inspection before the Motor Vehicles Inspector after removing the extension made. The learned Government Pleader also submits that the petitioner has not complied with Annexure-R1A. The tax exemption sought for, according to the learned Government Pleader, WP(C).26090/14 2 cannot be permitted since the petitioner has not filed any G-form for the same.
3. In any event, since the vehicle has been inspected and it has been found that there is an extension, this Court cannot look into the facts and interfere with the order of the Registering Authority. The petitioner submits that he has got an order from the Registering Authority which is appealable under the Act. If the petitioner files an appeal within two weeks of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, the appeal shall be considered on merits. Leaving open such remedies, the writ petition stands dismissed.
