Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the order of the State Transport Commissioner granting diversion and extension of the appellant's bus route was valid and should not have been set aside by the Tribunal. The Court emphasized that the notification dated 22.2.2005 under Section 68(3)(ca) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 is not retrospective and does not apply to the appellant's case. The Court found that the Tribunal failed to address the specific argument regarding the applicability of the notification, leading to an erroneous decision. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the order of the State Transport Commissioner.
