MOTOR REGISTRATION ACT REFORMS
In year 1996 Mr. Mansoor Challenged grey areas and loopholes in Motor vehicle Registration Act that was facilitating fraudulent transfer of vehicle ownership as well as misuse of stolen vehicles in terrorist activities and crimes with the help of fake open sale agreement transfer letters and fake vehicle plates. He also challenged ban on import of reconditioned vehicles in the same petition but had to be deleted from writ petition upon interference of double bench orders. Thence revised writ petition addressed only the issue of Motor Registration Act. Such flaws in prevailed Motor Act was resulting in frauds, loss of revenues to the government as well as making authorities unable in identifying owners of vehicles used in heinous crimes and acts of terrorism.
Secondly, the interest of buyers of used vehicles was not protected for an authentic transfer letter due to unlimited repeated open letters for a vehicle. The ban imposed by Mr Zardari on import of reconditioned motor vehicles denied middle class to buy better cars but the writ petition addressing the issue was thrown out by Justice Falak Sher. Resultantly, Mr. Mansoor went to double bench and got relief for one part of the writ petition. The court decision was complied with in year 2000.As a result government received approx. 30 million rupees revenue from exercising transfer of vehicle ownerships within a specified period of time as well as controlled use of stolen vehicles to some extent. It also helped in decreasing theft of vehicles. This change in procedure also created hundreds of new jobs in the Excise & Taxation department.
