Act 1988. Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.KALLAKURI SRINIVASARAO Counsel for Respondent No.1 & 2: GP FOR TRANSPORT The Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO Writ Petition Nos. 5298, 5553, 5818, 5823, 6232, 6292, 6304, 6349, 7035, 7234, 7257, 7275, 7284, 7289, 7348 & 7458 OF 2005 COMMON ORDER: All these writ petitions are filed by the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (hereinafter called ‘RTC’) feeling aggrieved by the orders passed by the State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Hyderabad (hereinafter called ‘STAT’) in dismissing the revision petitions filed by the RTC under Section 90 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (hereinafter called ‘the Act’). Though the matters are listed at interlocutory stage, the same were heard finally and are being disposed of by this common order. The short fact of the matter is as follows. The third respondent in all the matters filed applications under Section 70 of the Act for stage carriage permit on the town service route from different places from Nellore town to other places. The RTC objected before the second respondent on two grounds: that the route for which the permit is sought, is covered by a notified scheme and therefore a stage carriage permit for town service cannot be granted; and that the route applied for is a new route and in the absence of order of the Government formulating the route under Section 68(3) (ca) of the Act, no such permit can be granted. By different proceedings made in December 2002, the second respondent overruled the objections of the RTC and granted pucca stage carriage permit on the town service route applied for by the bus operator. These various orders were challenged before the STAT by filing revision petitions, which were dismissed by the impugned orders. The learned Tribunal rejected the contention of the RTC that a stage carriage permit even for a town service cannot be granted, if the same is prohibited by the notified scheme. The Tribunal did so, by placing reliance on the Full Bench judgment
