PARAMJIT BHASIN vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of notifications issued by various State Governments under Section 200 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, which allegedly allowed continuance of offenses related to excess vehicle weight contrary to Sections 113, 114, and 194 of the Act. The Court held that while Section 200 permits compounding of offenses, it does not authorize the continuation of infractions post-compounding. The Court emphasized that excess weight must be off-loaded, reinforcing the statutory limits set by the Act.
