Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, under Article 32 of the Constitution of India, established guidelines for the allotment of Maruti vehicles from the manufacturer's quota, limiting eligibility to specific categories including organizations defined as 'State' under Article 12, charitable institutions under Section 80-G of the Income Tax Act, and individuals with disabilities whose income does not exceed Rs. 60,000 per year. The Court emphasized that no resale of the vehicle is permitted for three years post-allotment. The guidelines aim to ensure equitable distribution and address public interest concerns.
