CWP No.8269 of 1989 CWP No.14938 of 1992 CWP No. 16323 of 1992 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.8269 of 1989 Date of decision May 20,2011 The Kisan Workers Transport Coop. Society Ltd. ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CWP No. 16323 of 1992 The Kisan Workers Transport Coop. Society Ltd. ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ....Respondents CWP No. 14938 of 1992 The Kisan Workers Transport Coop. Society Ltd. ....Petitioner Versus General Manager, Punjab Roadways, Ferozepur and others ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present: None for the petitioners. Mr. K. S. Sivia, DAG., Punjab. K. Kannan, J (oral) 1. The order challenged in the writ petition relate to direction given by the Secretary, Regional Transport Authority CWP No.8269 of 1989 CWP No.14938 of 1992 CWP No. 16323 of 1992 to discontinue temporary arrangements of permits and requiring applications for grant of regular stage carriage permit in pursuance to the Hon'ble Supreme Court's direction in Civil Appeal No. 1522 of 1987. The Motor Vehicles Act, 1989 provides for a liberalized regime on grant of permits and until there is any scheme framed under Chapter VI. There can be no restriction against grant of permits by following procedure prescribed under Section 80 of the Motor Vehicles Act. The Motor Vehicles Act, 1989 states a different paradigm and the Supreme Court has underscored the need for giving effect to change the provisions brought through the Motor Vehicles Act, 1989 in Mithilesh Garg etc. Vs. Union of India and others AIR 1992 SC 443. None of these orders which are impeached should be assailed in the manner sought to be done by the petitioner. 2. CWP No.1623 of 1992 presents a slightly different issue. All the attempted recoveries for arrears of tax payable by the various passengers when this Court ordered notice the petitioner gave an undertaking to deposit half the amount within six weeks, for the balance he would furnish adequate security. This order was passed on 28.5.1990 if the order has not been complied with, the right of enforcement of security or recovery will revive through the dismissal of this writ petition. 3. CWP No.,14938 of 1992 seeks for yet another protection to allow the petitioner to ply the vehicles in the roads for which they are sanctioned. The prayer for a general protection is withdrawn. If he has any persisting grievance he shall have the grievance redressed through independent action, for the grievance complained is in the nature of a recurring cause of action and the writ CWP No.8269 of 1989 CWP No.14938 of 1992 CWP No. 16323 of 1992 petition is also dismissed with liberty in the matter referred to above. 4. All the writ petitions are consequently dismissed. (K.KANNAN) JUDGE May 20,2011 archana
