ABDUL REHMAN AND ORS. vs STATE TRANSPORT APPELLATE TRIBUNAL & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court should exercise caution in interfering with decisions of specialized authorities under the Motor Vehicles Act, particularly regarding the grant of stage carriage permits. The Court emphasized that under Section 47, the interest of the traveling public is paramount, and the High Court's interference was unwarranted as it would cause inconvenience to the public. The Court allowed the appeal, reinstating the permits granted to the appellants, recognizing the need for additional permits on the amalgamated route.
