Vineedharan, v. the Regional Transport Authority
Case brief
What is this about?
Transport operators challenged withdrawal of a Government Order protecting their operations. The court held that their continued operation rested on binding Division Bench declarations, not that order. It disposed of the petitions, confirming existing operational protection until a new or modified scheme takes effect, with liberty to challenge that scheme.
What did the court decide?
Interim protection for existing operations confirmed until a modified or new scheme takes effect; liberty reserved to challenge any such scheme.
