| Decision |
The appeal against the order of the R. T. A., Multan, is accepted as the period of thirty days had not expired before the application was sanctioned. The route for which the permits were granted cannot be considered to be the same for which the application was originally made. The matter is directed to be reconsidered by the R. T. A. for a fresh decision on merits after complying with the provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act and the relevant rules. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around an appeal regarding the grant of two stage carriage permits by the R. T. A., Multan, to Malik Bus Service. The appellant, The Multan Transport Co., raised four significant contentions against the decision: the premature decision before the expiration of the statutory 30-day period, the misidentification of the applicant, the discrepancy in the route length, and the sufficiency of existing transport services for the public. The decision was primarily based on the procedural non-compliance regarding the 30-day waiting period, emphasizing the importance of adhering to legal requirements in transport permit grants. This case highlights the legal framework of the Motor Vehicles Act, specifically Section 57, which mandates a waiting period for decision-making in permit applications, ensuring fair competition and service availability in the transport sector. |
