Vishnu Dutt & Ors vs State Of Rajasthan & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the 1997 Agreement between the States of Rajasthan and Haryana, which superseded the 1968 Agreement regarding stage carriage permits under Section 88 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Court clarified that the permits granted under the 1968 Agreement remained valid until their expiry, but the new agreement allowed for reconsideration of permits for private operators. The Court dismissed the appeals, affirming the High Court's decision that the Regional Transport Authority's actions were in accordance with the law and the agreements in place.
