Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the approved scheme under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, specifically Sections 68C and 68E, which allowed the State Government to specify both minimum and maximum numbers of vehicles and trips for inter-State routes. The Court ruled that the scheme's provisions were not ultra vires and that the Chief Minister was competent to hear objections on behalf of the State Government. The Court dismissed the writ petitions of bus operators challenging the scheme, affirming that the details provided were sufficient for objectors to raise their concerns.
