Mr. Kacker, learned counsel for the petitioner in Writ Petition No. 205 of 1961, raised the following points: (1) Under section 68C of the , the State Transport Undertaking has to form its opinion and prepare a scheme for nationalisation and publish it in the manner prescribed thereunder, but in the present cases the State Government initiated the schemes and, therefore, the schemes were not validly made; (2) As neither the objection to the proposed scheme were heard nor were they approved by the State Government as they should be under section 68D of the , the schemes were invalid; (3) The Regional Transport Authority acted illegally in curtailing the period of renewal this question arises only in the appeal; (4) The Regional Transport Authority had not applied its mind in dealing with the renewal application but mechanically followed the provisions in the proposed schemes and, therefore, its order was bad; (5) Even after the approval of the nationalisation schemes, the State owned buses were required to apply for and get permits under the Act and plying of buses 83 by the State without permits was illegal; and (6) The Secretary to the Regional Transport Authority had no jurisdiction to issue an order under section 68F (2) of the , since under the said section only the Regional Transport Authority had the power to do so this question arises only in Writ Petition No. 205 of 1961.
