Orders
Summary of C.A. No. 5227/2003 On 04.08.2010, the Supreme Court dismissed K.M. Ismeth Ummer's appeal challenging the Regional Transport Authority's 15-year age restriction for stage carriages. The Court held that under Section 72(2) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the RTA has authority to prescribe vehicle age limits as part of "specified description" for permit grants, as such restrictions serve public interest by preventing accidents. Civil Appeal No. 8862/2003 was also dismissed on the same grounds. No costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
