History

Historical Context

The Motor Vehicles Act, overhauled in 1988 and amended by the 2019 revision, has been reinforced by a 2017 bill that sought seven-year imprisonment for drink-driving deaths. This legal trajectory underpins the 2026 Greater Noida case, where police detained Manish T and seized a Maruti Alto, and Uttar Pradesh courts now cite the Act to impose maximum sentences for hit-and-run offenses.
