The matter is listed for hearing on August 22.<\/p>\n<p>The fresh plea filed by the auto union has sought that they be allowed to display advertisements or social messages, having political content, on their vehicles, saying the guidelines have been notified at the instance of major ruling political parties.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The guidelines suffer from mala fide as it has been finalised and notified at the instance of major ruling parties in an attempt to interfere with the constitutional rights of the smaller political parties,&#8221; the auto union&#8217;s plea has said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is only the small political parties who face difficulty to mete out such huge expanses and rather choose cheaper method to convey their political ideas at large,&#8221; it also said.<\/p>\n<p>The new guidelines specify the system of approvals for advertisements and the areas where they can be displayed.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisements cannot be displayed without approval from municipal bodies and are allowed only for vehicles which have installed GPS\/GPRS systems, the guidelines also say.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from political advertisements, those on sale of alcohol or tobacco products or those that refer to violence, indecency, obscenity, cruelty to animals or promotion of any racist or sectarian behaviour have also been banned.<\/p>\n<p>PSVs in Delhi include all public transport options from rickshaws, auto-rickshaws, taxis, school buses and buses run by contractors or Delhi Transport Corporation.<\/p>\n<p>In June last year, the then government had banned advertisements on PSVs after auto-rickshaws started sporting Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) posters in the run-up to the Delhi elections.<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter, the high court had stayed the Delhi government&#8217;s ban.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, in May this year, the city government had informed the court that it is in the process of finalising the general guidelines for allowing advertisements on public service vehicles and the same is under submission for approval of the Lt Governor.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: PTI)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An auto union has moved the Delhi High Court seeking quashing of the city government&#8217;s guidelines banning political advertisements on public service vehicles (PSVs).
