Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Jan-12-2000

The scheme of the 1988 Act, as appears to me, authorises the Transport Authority to formulate a route from one termini to another provided one of the terminis falls within its jurisdiction. Once such route is formulated, such Transport Authority can grant permit to ply stage carnage on the said formulated route. If, however, the route in question falls in the jurisdiction of the another authority, counter-signature of such another Authority is required. In order to obtain such counter-signature, steps as are required to be taken for obtaining a route permit are also required to be taken.

The same principle is also applicable in relation to inter-State routes. If a State has formulated the route from one stage to another, that State may grant a route ...
