VIKRAM SHITOLE & ANR. vs THE M.P. STATE ROAD TRANSPORTCORPORATION & ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a writ petition challenging the cancellation of permits for operating stage carriages on a notified route under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, specifically referencing Section 68D(3). The Court established that once a notification is published, all pre-existing operators must cease operations unless compliant with the scheme's terms, which the appellants failed to do. The Court concluded that the self-employment scheme was illegal, affirming the High Court's decision without error in law.
