Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the authority of the State Government under Section 64-A of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, to set aside orders of subordinate authorities regarding stage-carriage permits. The Court ruled that the State Government's decision to grant permits based on better facilities for operation was within its powers and could not be challenged under Article 226 of the Constitution. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the legality of the State's actions and the validity of Section 64-A.
