display of national emblem

request to clarify the doubt - can any civil servant who has qualified UPSC CIVIL SERVICES( like IAS IPS IRAS )can display the national emblem i .e the four lions ON his car?

i have gone through the net and found that only president ,governor , consulars etc can use

(but the civil servants are using the national emblem on visiting cards and stationary and they are permitted i suppose)

when they can use it on the stationary why not on the vehicle?

i will be thankful if any expert responds -thanking u in anticipation

Any Gazetted officer can use national emblem (Ashoka Pillar) on visiting cards and official letters.

The schedule 1 ,2,and 3 of the State Emblem Of India(regulation Of Use)Act 2005(50 0f 2005 published in Gazette Of India,extraordinary,part II section 3 sub section1 dated 4th Oct 2007,clearly specifies who can use state emblem on cars, and who can use state emblem on letter heads and visiting cards.

According to that ,any Gazetted Officer can use state emblem on letter heads used for official purpose and on visiting cards for" legitimate representational purpose"

please post me more information if any one has

I have this crooked lawyer from the High Court. He used to be government lawyer and he had this visiting card with the four lion emblem embossed in gold. Subsequently, he was sacked because to corrupt practices. But even several years after being sacked he continues using this emblem on his visiting card, obviously for the purpose of impressing his private clients. He is also having this emblem on gold and red in front of his private car. How can suitable action be taken against him?

Thanks in advance
