sahil_time, why is that not possible?

Because doing so may change the whole concept of Forces!Like if C was different for different observers then epsilon/permeability would be different and hence the electric field and magnetic pheneomenon would be different for different observers!Like Electric field at a point could have infinite possible values!
Well that's what i think!
