ALLIED TRANSPORT COMPANY RAMGOPAL SATYANARAYAN TANDON AND SONS BUS OPERATOR KRISHNA TRANSPORT COMPANY REWA VINDHYA MOTOR TRANSPORT COOPERATIVE SOCIETY Vs. STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The point raised in this group of writ petitions and special leave petitions is covered by the decision rendered by this Court in Civil Appeal No. 1029 of 1981 and allied appeals pronounced on March 13, 1981. Therefore, this group of writ petitions and special leave petitions will be governed by the aforementioned judgment and will stand disposed of in terms of that judgment.

(2.) The order herein indicated would have been sufficient for disposal of this group of matters but learned counsel appearing for the Madhya Pradesh Road Transport Corporation very vehemently urged that an attempt is being made by the operators to take an unfair advantage of the judgment of this Court as if the Judgment mandates the authorities under the Motor Vehicles Act to grant them permits which they are not otherwise entitled to. One has to guard against such a situation. Being conscious of this fact, in the judgment dated 13th March 1981, in Civil Appeal No. 1029 of 1981, we have clearly expressed ourselves in this behalf. That bears reproduction as part of this judgment

(3.) Even on this occasion we want to be explicit with regard to what we are directing by this judgment.
