Legal ? By any Chance?

well, all legalities apart, even govt cant prosecute this man for having that symbol on his bike. Its a national symbol but keep in mind its actual historic monument. So anyone is free to have that displayed anywhere.
You have restrictions on use of national flag but not on Ashok stambha. (National symbol has 2 linons with satya meva jayte written at the bottom)
There is a restriction on where you can use this exact symbol. Thats not the case here so this looks ok.

I am not sure. If it can be used freely. It is reserved for privileged people only. May be some other members can put some light on it.
I will also try to find out exact law on it.
As mentioned, 3 Days back mirror was flashing a news that car owner was fined as he was using Govt Symbols.
^^ using The lion emblem is not illegal, however as Shripad did say earlier .. using the national flag is.
i will try and find out more on this. this is absolutely weird. :|

VEHICLE INSPECTION - Emblem misuse: RTO decries staff crunch
If Pintu S Sengupta and his female accomplice Suzzane had unauthorisedly displayed the national emblem on their Maruti Suzuki, it was the primary responsibility of motor vehicle inspectors (MVIs) to detect it and take the duo to task. One of the important tasks of the MVIs is to check vehicles to ensure that the provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act are not flouted.
Other source (Just a Pointer)
'Take action for misuse of national emblem' - Chandigarh - Cities - The Times of India (For Full Article)
He said that the cars with national emblem can be used only by the Governors and not by their family members or staff.
Will Try for more stuff if required.

This is symbol/insignia for RR as per link given above
Thanks a lot for info.
However it constitutes part of emblem under discussion (Lower 50%).
We are discussing about top 50% that is National Emblem (Three Lions). Highlighted in below image.
It is a simple vanila discussion - Can national Emblem can be used by anyone on vehicle (car/bike etc) and not who is right and wrong.
Not to mention i am not sure and want to update myself with correct info backed by genuine information source with help/input/views of all the members around.
Please feel free to contribute and clear our doubts once for all.
Supporting links would be great addition.
Thanks.
