Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the notification issued by the Lt. Governor of Delhi under Article 226 of the Constitution, which allowed private operators to run stage carriage services in Delhi under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Court found that the conditions imposed on the permits, including the honoring of concessional passes, were reasonable and aimed at augmenting public transport. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the scheme was lawful and in the public interest.
