Sri a Shivakumar v. Karnataka State Transport Authority (Ksta)
Karnataka HCWP/16620/2024
Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
Petitioners challenged a Tribunal common order setting aside renewal of their stage carriage permits. Following an earlier coordinate-bench decision, the court held that since both route termini were within Karnataka and only under 16 km lay in Tamil Nadu, Section 88(1) second proviso made countersignature unnecessary; the Tribunal order was set aside and permit renewals restored.
What did the court decide?
Impugned Tribunal order dated 27.08.2021 in RP Nos.221/2018 and 222/2018 set aside as against petitioners; permit renewals granted by respondent No.2 restored.
