GAJRAJ SINGH vs STATE OF U.P. .

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a draft scheme under Section 68-C of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, which was challenged by operators. The Court held that the scheme lapsed under Section 100(4) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, due to non-approval within one year of publication. The Court emphasized the need for timely disposal of objections to uphold Articles 14 and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution, ultimately directing the government to frame a new scheme if necessary.
