Motor Vehicles Act , 1988
Section 6 – Restrictions on the holding of driving licences ([India Code][1])
🔹 Short Note (Hindi)
Section 6 kehta hai ki ek person ek hi time par sirf ek valid driving licence rakh sakta hai. Multiple licences hold karna illegal hai.
🔹 Detailed Explanation (English + Hindi)
Section 6 Motor Vehicles Act road safety aur legal record-keeping ke liye yeh rule banata hai ki kisi bhi individual ke paas ek se zyada driving licence nahi hona chahiye.
Har driver ke naam par sirf ek licence valid hoga jo us state ya authority ke through issue kiya gaya ho. Agar koi alag states se multiple licences rakhta hai to wo law violate karta hai.
Is rule ka purpose hai:
- Duplicate ya fake identity rokna
- Offence tracking easy karna
- Licence misuse aur fraud prevent karna
🔹 Main Conditions
- Person ek hi valid driving licence hold kar sakta hai.
- Alag-alag state se multiple licence lena offence hai.
- Licence renew karte waqt old licence cancel/submit karna hota hai.
- Agar licence suspend ya cancelled ho, to dobara apply nahi kiya ja sakta jab tak restriction hata na diya jaye.
🔹 Legal Meaning (Simple Terms)
“Section 6 ka matlab hai ki kisi driver ke paas ek hi driving licence hona chahiye. Do ya zyada licences rakhna kanoon ke khilaaf hai.”
🔹Example
Vikas ne Delhi aur Uttar Pradesh dono jagah se alag-alag licences banwa liye. Traffic police ne jab record check kiya to us par Section 6 ke tahat action liya gaya.
🔹 Key Legal Points
- Ek person = ek driving licence policy.
- Duplicate licence hold karna punishable hai.
- Renewal ke time purana licence surrender karna zaroori hai.
- Validity aur vehicle class same licence par endorsed hota hai.
- Offence record kisi aur state ke licence se hide nahi kiya ja sakta.
🔹 Nyay Neeti Advice
Agar aapke paas accidental duplicate licence ban gaya hai, to turant RTO me jaake ek hi licence maintain karein. Fraud karne ya identity hide karne ke liye multiple licence rakhne par fine, cancellation, aur legal case ho sakta hai.
