RAMNATH VERMA vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court held that under Section 68C of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, the Legal Remembrancer has the authority to reject a draft scheme and take evidence if necessary. The Court overruled the Rajasthan High Court's decision in Chandra Bhan v. State of Rajasthan, affirming that the appellants could not claim discrimination under Article 14 of the Constitution as their objections were adequately addressed without evidence. The Court upheld the approval of the schemes under Section 68D, concluding that partial exclusion of private operators was permissible under Section 68G.
