BHARATPUR MOTOR WORKERS COOPERATIVE SOCIETY LID. ETC. vs STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH AND ANOTHER

The Supreme Court examined the validity of nationalization schemes under Chapter IVA of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, specifically addressing procedural compliance in the approval of interstate routes. The Court held that while the Act allows for objections from various stakeholders, the absence of representation from public bodies does not invalidate the schemes. The Court reaffirmed its previous ruling in Khazan Singh v. State of U.P., emphasizing that the current challenges pertain to statutory illegality rather than constitutional issues, thus upholding the schemes as valid.
