Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, specifically Sections 42 and 68F(1), ruling that the State has the right to apply for permits under Chapter IV without infringing the petitioner's fundamental rights under Articles 19(1)(g) and 14 of the Constitution. The Court clarified that the provisions in Chapters IV and IVA of the Act provide distinct powers, and the Government's application for permits under Chapter IV does not violate the petitioner's rights. The petitioner's arguments were dismissed as lacking substance.
