These revision petitions challenge the order of the State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Chennai, directing the 1st respondent/Regional Transport Authority, Tiruvannamalai, to transfer the permit in favour of the 3rd respondent, in respect of stage carriage bearing Regn.No.TN-25-AZ-6395, plying on Devikapuram - Sathanur route.
2.I have heard Mr.M.Palani, learned counsel for the petitioners in both the revision petitions, Mrs.Radha Gopalan, learned counsel for the 3rd respondent in both the revision petitions and Mr.N.Muthuvel, learned Government Advocate (CS) for the 1st respondent in CRP.No.4038 of 2022 and respondents 1 and 2 in CRP.No.4200 of 2022.
3.Mr.M.Palani, learned counsel appearing for the revision
Legal succession to a vehicle permit requires compliance with statutory mandates, including consent from all legal heirs, with proper proof of possession and validity of any claims based on a Will.
A will must be validated in a competent court for succession rights to a transport permit, with legal heirs requiring unanimous consent for transfers.
A 'WILL' must be legally validated for permit transfer, requiring compliance with statutory rules and consent from all legal heirs.
An appellate authority can only reverse a decision if an error has resulted in a failure of justice, affirming limitations on their jurisdiction.
The extension of the permit transfer period to three years is unjustified; the original one-year limit reinstated due to lack of rationale from the authority.
The court upheld that amendments imposing additional restrictions on permit transfers must be supported by justifiable reasons, and lack of evidence for trafficking renders such amendments unreasonab....
The court ruled on the entitlement of the appellant to a stage carriage permit independent of another party's renewal application, emphasizing amended legislative provisions.
