KAMALAM (SMT.) K. vs PONNUSWAMY (R.) AND ORS.

The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning the grant of stage carriage permits under Section 64B of the Motor Vehicles Act. The Court held that the Regional Transport Authority's rejection of R. Pachamuthu Udayar's application was unjustified as it was based on unsubstantiated complaints, and emphasized that experience should be a significant factor in permit allocation. The Court upheld the High Court's order for fresh consideration of the applications, thereby ensuring that all relevant qualifications, including experience, are duly evaluated.
