The petitioners have approached this Court by way of this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution, with a grievance which has its genesis in the blacklisting of the vehicle belonging to petitioner No. 1 [DL-10-SU-3355] on the ground that it is a stolen vehicle. 2. As a result of the blacklisting of the vehicle, the petitioners were unable to obtain a Pollution Under Control Certificate [“PUCC”]. Consequently, two challans dated 17.01.2026, have been issued arising out of the aforesaid violation, which are showing on the traffic police portal, i.e. one to the petitioner No.1, as the owner of the vehicle, and other to the petitioner No. 2 as driver of the vehicle.

Mr. Sharma submits that the petitioners’ vehicle has, in fact, been registered in the name of petitioner No. 1, and has not been stolen. Despite repeated inquiries, the petitioners are not getting any clear information as to the reason for the blacklisting of the vehicle. 4. Mr. Rahul Tyagi, learned Additional Standing Counsel, who appears on advance notice, submits, upon instruction, that blacklisting of vehicle arose out as an e-FIR registered by an unrelated party, in which the registration number of the petitioners’ vehicle number was erroneously mentioned as the stolen vehicle. He further submits that they have since verified the petitioners’ documents, and ascertained that the petitioners’ vehicle is not required to be blacklisted. He therefore submits that necessary steps will be taken to remove the petitioners’ vehicle from the blacklisting list. 5. Consequently, Mr. Tyagi also submits that if the petitioners’ approach the concerned Court for the cancellation of the challans in respect of the PUCC, the respondent will not oppose the cancellation of challans. 6. The writ petition, alongwith pending application, stands disposed of, binding the respondent to these submissions.
