ISHWAR SINGH BAGGA & ORS. ETC. vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN ETC.

The Supreme Court held that the Rajasthan State Government's Notification empowering certain officers of the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation to exercise powers under Section 129A of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, is invalid. The Court ruled that 'other person' in Section 129A refers only to government officers, not to employees of statutory corporations. The Court emphasized that only those appointed by the State Government can exercise such powers, thereby protecting the rights of contract carriage permit holders under Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution.
