MITHILESH GARG ETC. ETC. vs UNION OF INDIA AND ORS. ETC. ETC.

The Supreme Court dismissed the Writ Petitions challenging the liberalization of permit issuance under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, asserting that the new provisions do not violate Articles 14 and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. The Court held that the previous restrictive licensing led to monopolies, and the liberalized approach promotes healthy competition and better service for the public. The petitioners' concerns regarding adverse effects on their rights were found to be unfounded, as the transport system aims to benefit the public and ensure efficient operations.
