Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the State Government is required to assign reasons when modifying schemes under Section 102 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the modifications of various transport schemes, including the Bellary Scheme and others, due to the absence of reasoned orders. The judgment emphasizes the necessity of transparency and accountability in administrative actions affecting public transport services.
