Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that Sections 68C and 68D of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1959, govern the nationalization of road transport services, requiring schemes to serve public interest and be subject to objections. The Court clarified that objections must relate to the necessity and public interest of the scheme, allowing for a hearing process before the State Government's approval. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the procedural rights of affected parties under Section 68D and the conditions outlined in Section 68C.
