D. M. THIPPESWAMY vs THE MYSORE APPELLATE TRIBUNAL AND ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the appellant was not an 'existing permit holder' under Section 68F(2) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, as he had not obtained the necessary counter-signature from the R.T.A. in Andhra Pradesh before the M.S.R.T.C. applied for a permit. The Court clarified that the Mysore Revenue Appellate Tribunal had the authority to set aside the grant of the permit, as the appellant's permit was not valid at the time of the application by M.S.R.T.C. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's decision.
