Ranchi, Nov 8 (UNI) Jharkhand High Court today directed the secretary of State Transport and Senior Superintendent of Police, to appear before it on November 16 and inform the actions taken for implementing the various orders passed by the court regarding illegal use of beacon lights on the vehicles.
