I have no hesitation to dismiss the appeal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The judge also relied on an observation made by the Supreme Court in an accident case that &#8220;India has a disreputable record of road accidents. There is non-challant attitude among drivers who feel that they are emperors of all they survey&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>According to the prosecution, constable Gajendra, who was on duty, had spotted Vijay driving a Tata Sumo car in a rash and negligent manner near Rajghat on September 5, 2003.
