IKRAM KHAN vs STATE TRANSPORT APPELLATE TRIBUNAL AND ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the omission of the place of hearing in the notice served to the appellant under Rule 108(c) of the Rajasthan Motor Vehicles Rules, 1951, is not fatal, as the appellant was a resident of Jaipur and familiar with the Tribunal's proceedings. The Court found that the Regional Transport Authority failed to reference the relevant considerations under Section 47 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, but the Tribunal adequately considered the necessary aspects despite not explicitly citing the section. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's decision to grant the permit to respondent No. 3.
