Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that Section 68(2)(ww) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, validly empowers the Chief Commissioner to require agents engaged in collecting, forwarding, and distributing goods carried by public carriers to obtain licenses. The Court rejected the High Court's view that a substantive provision was necessary in the Act before such rules could be made. The appeal was allowed, and the case was remanded to the High Court for consideration of other contentions raised in the petition.
