ABDUI, GAFOOR vs STATE OF MYSORE

The Supreme Court held that under Section 68-C of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, once a scheme is published and approved, the Regional Transport Authority is obligated to grant permits under Section 68-F(1) without further deliberation. The Court clarified that the provisions of Section 57(3) do not apply in this context, as the Regional Transport Authority acts in a ministerial capacity rather than a quasi-judicial one when considering applications for permits. The writ petition was dismissed, affirming the authority's decision-making process.
