In Exhibit-P8 it is stated that there is no provision to issue a Private Permit to a Maruti Car and the petitioner is also asked to make an application affixing necessary stamps in the application for transfer of ownership. 2. In so far as the first objection contained in Exhibit-P7 that there is no provision for conversion into a private permit does not seem to be correct in view of the provisions under Section Rule 51 (6) of the Motor Vehicles Act and the decision of this Court reported in Saj Tours and Travels Vs. State Transport Authority ( 1998 (2) KLT 397]. Therefore, if the petitioner makes an application in the proper form affixing stamps for the transfer of ownership of the vehicle also, the application made by the petitioner will be considered by the authority and orders will be passed thereon. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) ma K.THANKAPPAN,J CRL.A. NO.92 OF 1999 ORDER 25th May, 2007
