U.P.S.R.T.CORPORATION, LUCKNOW. vs ANWAR AHMED .

The Supreme Court held that once a scheme under Section 100 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 is approved and published, the right to ply stage carriages by private operators on the notified routes is frozen. The Court clarified that temporary permits cannot be granted to private operators in the notified area unless the scheme allows it, as per the proviso to Section 104 of the Act. The High Court's orders granting temporary permits were set aside, reinforcing the principle that the scheme's provisions must be adhered to strictly.
