The Supreme Court addressed the necessity of obtaining an endorsement for drivers licensed to operate light motor vehicles when driving transport vehicles classified as light motor vehicles. The Court interpreted the definitions provided in the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, particularly sections 2(10), 2(21), and 2(47), concluding that no additional endorsement is required for such drivers. The holding clarifies the licensing requirements for light motor vehicle drivers operating within their defined class, thereby affirming the existing legal framework without imposing further restrictions.
