KISHANCHAND NARSINGHDAS BHATIA vs STATE TRANSPORT APPELLATE AUTHORITY & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that under Article 136, it is reluctant to interfere with decisions made by specialized authorities like the State Transport Appellate Authority regarding stage carriage permits. The Court emphasized that it will not review factual findings unless they are perverse or shocking to judicial conscience. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the appellant's claim for permit renewal did not warrant interference as the Appellate Authority's decision was within its jurisdiction and expertise.
