ABDUL HAI KHAN vs ABDUL AZIZ SHUKH . — C.A. No. 2685/2002

Summary of C.A. No. 002685/2002 - Abdul Hai Khan v. Subal Chandra Ghose & Ors. The Supreme Court reversed the High Court's decision and held that private stage carriage operators holding permits on nationalized routes in Calcutta cannot obtain a monopoly over those routes or prevent other private operators from receiving permits on overlapping routes. The Court determined that the 1963 nationalization scheme constitutes only a partial exclusion scheme, not total exclusion, thus permitting multiple private operators to coexist on the same or overlapping routes at the Authority's discretion.
