Rajasthan High Court (Jaipur Bench), Single Judge (Sandeep Taneja, J.), Order dated 25.11.2025 — S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 17998/2025. Petitioners — M/s J K Carrier (owner of Truck No. Hr55Aj3744) and M/s Manjeet Building Material Supplier (owner of Truck No. Rj32Gc8225) — submitted that the controversy in their writ petition (raised against the State Transport Department, the Joint Secretary, Mines & Geology Department, and several RTO/DTOs including Enforcement Jaipur First and DTO Kotputali-Behror) had already been decided by a co-ordinate Bench in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 17894/2025 (Tofik Ahmed & ors. Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors.), decided 20.11.2025; counsel for the State did not refute the similarity. The reproduced co-ordinate Bench operative portion had — without entering disputed questions of fact or merits, and because the vehicles were the petitioners' source of livelihood ('bread and butter') — set aside the suspension of the petitioners' Registration Certificates, subject to: report before the notice-issuing authorities on 05.12.2025 (preferably 11:00 am–01:00 pm); due reply within 15 days; audience before the competent authority on 20.12.2025; adjudication within a further 15 days; interim revocation of the suspended RCs with updating of vehicle status on the official portal; no prejudice to either side; pending applications disposed of. Holding the controversies identical, this Court disposed of the present writ petition 'in the same terms'. No statutory provisions are discussed in the judgment; the single precedent engaged is followed, not independently adjudicated.

decided by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.17894/2025 (Tofik Ahmed & ors. Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors) decided on 20.11.2025.

Learned counsel for the State does not refute the fact that similar controversy has been decided.

The co-ordinate Bench has decided the writ petition & operative portion of the same is as follows:-

“6. Having heard the contentions made by the learned counsel for the parties, taking note of the material available on record in the petition, and the judgments cited at the Bar, this Court without going into the arena of disputed questions of facts and merits of the petition, is of a view that the impugned order, whereby the Registration Certificates of the vehicles owned / possessed by the petitioners are suspended, needs to be set aside, for the reasons that the said vehicles are the source of bread and butter of the petitioners and their families. However, the aforementioned revocation shall only be effective subject to a condition that the petitioners along with their counsel concerned shall report to / before the notice issuing authorities, on 05.12.2025, preferably in-between 11:00 am to 01:00 pm. Thereafter, due reply be filed within a period of 15 days.

Audience with respect to the same will be provided by competent authority on 20.12.2025. Adjudication of the same be carried out thereafter within a period of 15 days.

It is made clear that during the period of consideration of grievances, the RCs of the vehicles owned/ possessed by the petitioners, which are suspended, shall be revoked and the status of the vehicle in furtherance to the consequential proceedings as registered and entered upon the official portal concerned, shall be updated, without further ado.
