In the latest hearing of the high court on a petition questioning the need for re-registration of vehicles in Telangana state, the government defended its stand on re-registration of all the vehicles in Telangana so that all the numbers under AP will come to TS assigned to Telangana by the Centre. However Telangana government said that the GO issued regarding this was only to call for objections and suggestions on the proposed amendment to provide re-assignment of registration numbers for the old vehicles purchased before June 2, 2014, the appointed day of Telangana.
Government confirmed that this move is the interest of citizens and safeguard revenue collection to improve citizen friendly transport services. It also assured the court that adequate time would be given to facilitate vehicle owners to make changes to their existing Registration Certificates and Number Plates. The high court is yet to give its final verdict on this issue.
