MUKUND DEWANGAN vs ORIENTAL INS.CO.LTD.

The Supreme Court addressed the necessity of obtaining an endorsement for drivers with a license 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 judgment clarified the scope of 'light motor vehicle' and upheld the validity of existing licenses without the need for further endorsements.
