Simplified | Are window tints legal in India? | PowerDrift

[@sankyppp]

Court's logic: Factory fitted tints do not increase crimes but retrofitted films with better visibility will add to crimes. Retrofitted shades increase crimes, factory fitted shades do not add to the crimes. I wonder how the courts found this logical.
