The present batch of writ petitions have been filed by the private
stage carriage operators impugning the Scheme framed in the exercise
of the powers conferred under Section 100(2) of the Motor Vehicles Act,
1988 (the MV Act for short) r/w Clause (b) of Rule 246 of the Kerala Motor
Vehicles Rules, 1989, for passenger road transport service on the routes
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 105
2024:KER:82723
which would be run and operated exclusively by the Kerala State
Transport Undertaking. The said scheme has been placed on record as
Ext.P14 in W.P(C) No. 18290 of 2023.
2. In all these writ petitions, almost identical facts and
questions of law are involved, and therefore, the facts of the lead
petition, W.P (C) No. 18290/2023, are taken note of for the purposes of
deciding the issue involved in these batch of writ petitions.
3. The petitioners in these writ petitions are the existing stage
carriage operators, conducting their services on the routes for which the
impugned scheme has been framed. Under the said scheme, the length
of the routes of the petitioners’ stage carriage operation has been
restricted to 140 Km, and the petitioners would not be able to apply
for renewal of permits in view of the notifications issued.
4. As per Rule 2(oa) of the Kerala Motor Vehicle Rules 1989(the
KMV Rules for short), ‘Ordinary limited stop service’ means a service
having a distance of not more than 140 Kms, with one or more stops in
every stage. Rule 2(ua) defines a ‘Super Deluxe Service’ means a service
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 106
2024:KER:82723
that is operated by a fleet owner on a route having a distance of not less
than 300 kms. As per Rule 2(ub), ‘Super Express Service’ is the service
operated by a fleet owner on a route having a distance of not less than
200 kms. Rule 2(uc) defines a ‘ Super Fast service’ as one operated by a
fleet owner on a route having a distance between 150 kms and 450 kms.
As per Rule 2(ea), ‘Fast Passenger Service’ is a service that is operated
by a fleet owner with limited stops on a route having a distance of not
less than 70 Kms.
5. Under the aforesaid rules, thus an ‘ordinary service’ can
operate upto 140 kms and all other classes of services are exclusively
reserved for the fleet owners. The aforesaid Rules came up for
consideration before the Division Bench of this court in O.P No. 8235 of
1999. Vide the judgment dated 30.06.2003, this court struck down the
word ‘fleet owner’. This court was of the view that except for KSRTC,
there was no other person/entity in the entire State, who could be said
to be the fleet owner. Therefore, the definition of ‘fleet owner’ excluded
everyone except the KSRTC for undertaking any other service, except the
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 107
2024:KER:82723
ordinary service. This would be violative of Articles 14 and 19 1(g) of the
Constitution of India. This court was of the view that such a definition
of ‘fleet owner’ was arbitrary unreasonable and militates principle of the
equality principle under Article 14 of the Constitution of India.
Therefore, the definition clause contained in Rule 2 (cb) was found to be
arbitrary and the same was quashed.
6.Brief Facts
A) In exercise of the powers conferred under section 99 of the MV
Act r/w rule 236 of the KMV Rules, the State Government published in
the Official Gazette dated 15.09.2008, a proposal in’ Form A’ of the
Appendix-1 of the KMV Rules relating to a scheme of road transport
service ( stage carriage service) to be run and operated in KSRTC, in
relation to 31 routes, as noted in Annexure of the said scheme. This
proposal envisaged the operation of the stage carriage services by
KSRTC to the ‘partial inclusion’ of the existing private services on these
31 routes.
B) The State Government, after considering the objections against
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 108
2024:KER:82723
the proposed scheme, published the modified scheme in the Official
Gazette dated 14.07.2009 under Subsection (2) of Section 100 of the MV
Act r/w rule 239 of KMV Rules. The said scheme was challenged in a
batch of writ petitions inter alia on the grounds that the approved
scheme did not indicate that the objections raised by the existing
operators were considered by the State Government and no reasons,
whatsoever, have been stated therein for disregarding the objections
raised by the existing operators.
C) This court held that the State Government by notifying the
approved scheme has substantially complied with the law as laid down
in B. A Linga Reddy vs. Karnataka State Transport Authority [(2015) 4
SCC 515], inasmuch as the proposal was approved not in its entirety but
with modification, which would indicate that the objections were
considered by the State Government under Section 100(2) and thus the
writ petitions were dismissed Vide the judgment in Luka Devassia v.
Regional Transport Authority [2015 SCC Online KER 13897: 2015 KHC
357]
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 109
2024:KER:82723
Paragraph 23 of the aforesaid judgment would read as under;
“23. For that reason, if we look at Clause 4 of the proposed scheme, it
only contemplated private operators who were granted permits on or
before 09/05/2006 to continue till the date of expiry of the respective
permits thereafter, the provision indicated that temporary permits alone
will be granted to them and that too, if the STU does not apply for permits
in the said routes. Now, coming to the approved scheme of 2009 there is
a clear indication that the permits issued on or before 09/05/2006 will be
allowed to continue till the date of expiry of their permits and thereafter
regular permits will be granted to them. Therefore, there is clear
indication that a claim for regular permit has been approved in the final
notification. Similarly, in the draft notification, provision was made in
regard to permits issued after 09/05/2006, stating that it shall not be
renewed and neither regular or temporary permit shall be issued under
any circumstances. The said situation in the draft notification has been
modified by which in regard to persons who had obtained permits after
09/05/2006, there is provision to provide temporary permits on expiry of
other regular permits. Of course, being a scheme to exclude other
persons, the permit shall operate only till STU replaces the said routes
with new services. Therefore, it is clear that substantial modification had
been made to the draft proposal and the rights of regular permit holders
/ private operators had been taken into consideration and they are
offered either regular permit in respect of persons who were holding
permits prior to 09/05/2006 and temporary permits for persons who were
having permits after 09/05/2006. This, by itself, indicates a proper
consideration of the materials on record and the objections raised by the
petitioners to the draft publication. In regard to the other objections as
well, when no change has been effected, it does not mean that their
claim has not been considered. Under such circumstances, we are of
the view that while considering the objections raised in terms of S.100(2)
of the Act, 1988, the Government had considered the objections raised
and had modified the scheme substantially. This, by itself indicates
compliance of principles of natural justice. Therefore, we do not think
that the respondent Government had fallen short of the judgments in G.
Nageswara Rao (supra), H. C Narayanappa (supra), Multi Purpose Co –
operative Societies (supra) and B. A Lingareddy (supra). Therefore, we are
of the view that there is substantial compliance of the provisions under
S.100(2) of the 1988 Act and all the contentions urged by the petitioners
in this regard fails.”
D) As per Clause 4 of the scheme dated 14.07.2009, the existing
operators in the private sector only have a limited lease of life and the
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 110
2024:KER:82723
continued operation of the services was purely conditional and
subject to the State Transport Undertaking not applying for permits in
their routes.
E) The State Government on 08.02.2016, in exercise of the
power conferred under Section 102(1) of the MV Act r/w Rule 246 (1)
published a proposal for modifying the scheme 14.07.2009. The
modification proposal was to save all existing permits granted and
issued as on 14.07.2009, and permit them to operate as ‘ordinary’ or
‘limited stop ordinary service’ without making applicable the
maximum distance prescribed for such services under Rule 2(oa) of
the KMV Rules. It was further specified that the maximum distance
prescribed for such services under Rule 2(oa) shall not apply to
‘saved permits’. Exemption from a maximum distance (140 Kms) was
necessary to attain the stated objective of saving the permits granted
and issued as of 14.07.2009.
F) The said proposed modified scheme was approved vide the
notification dated 23.03.2017. However, it was stated that the
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 111
2024:KER:82723
maximum distance prescribed for ‘ordinary’ and ‘limited stop
ordinary services’ under Rule 2(oa) of the KMV Rules should apply to
the saved permits.
G) The said notification 23.03.2017 came to be challenged in
batch of writ petitions. This court vide the judgment 20.08.2018 in
KSRTC v. Saju Varkey [(2018) 4 KLJ 145] quashed the Clause 4 of the
modified scheme 23.03.2017. it was held that maximum distance of
140 Kms prescribed in Rule 2(oa) KMV Rules would not apply to the
‘saved permits’. In view of the aforesaid judgment, the permit holders
of the ‘saved permits’ i.e., the permits granted to the private operators
as on 14.07.2009, including the petitioners, became entitled to
operate the stage carriage services, as ‘ordinary’ or ‘limited stop
ordinary services’ without the stipulation with regard to maximum
distance contained Rule 2(oa) of the KMV Rules.
H. After the said judgment in Saju Varkey (supra) the holders of
the saved permits, including the petitioners, herein, applied for the
renewal of their respective permits. The same was objected by the
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 112
2024:KER:82723
KSRTC relying on an Executive Order issued by the State Government
dated 01.07.2020 interdicting the transport authorities for renewing
the permits issued to the saved operators, operating on the route
exceeding 140 kms in length. The said Government Order dated
01.07.2020 came to be challenged before this court in a batch of writ
petitions. While the writ petitions challenging the Government Order
dated 01.07.2020 were pending consideration before this court, the
State Government, invoking Section 102(1) of the MV Act, published
a draft scheme dated 14.09.2020 to further modify the scheme dated
23.03.2017. Clause 4 of the said scheme prescribed that all ‘
operators of ‘saved permit’ issued upto 14.07.2009 can operate as
ordinary service alone, subject to maximum route length of 140 kms.
I. In the aforesaid scheme, the Government proposed to
decline the ‘limited stop ordinary services’ to ‘saved permits. Under
the proposed Scheme, the private operators would not operate the
route with a length of more than 140 kms. Several objections had
been filed against the said scheme.
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 113
2024:KER:82723
J. In the meantime, the KSRTC had filed a Writ Appeal No.1156
of 2022 against the judgment in KSRTC vs. Saju Varkey (supra), and
an interim order was granted by the Division Bench. Accordingly, the
Secretary, RTAs declined to issue temporary permits to the private
stage carriage operators for more than 140 Kms. However, the
Government issued a notice with direction to grant temporary permits
to the private operators for a duration of four months, irrespective of
the route length. Accordingly, temporary permits to the private stage
carriage operators for more than 140 Kms were issued, and they
continued their operations. This court also modified the earlier
interim order vide its order dated 12.04.2023 in W.A No.1156 of 2022;
it was directed that those operators who had valid permits as of the
date of the disposal of the writ petitions should continue to enjoy the
temporary permits till further orders were passed in these matters.
The challenge to this order dated 12.04.2023 was made before the
Supreme Court in SLP (Civil) No.9112 of 2023. On the basis of the said
interim order, the RTA issued temporary permits, and the stage
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 114
2024:KER:82723
carriages with a route length of more than 140 Kms were permitted to
continue. Thereafter, the State Government issued a final notification
for publishing the scheme dated 03.05.2023 / 04.05.2023, which is
the subject matter of challenge before this Court.
7. Submissions:-
The learned counsel for the petitioners have advanced the
following primary submissions, challenging the final notification
dated 03.05.2023 / 04.05.2023.
i. There is nothing on record to suggest that any consideration was
given to the objections raised by the petitioners against the proposed
scheme, except for stating in the notification that the objectors were
heard. There is no separate record of proceedings that would
disclose how the objections were considered and disposed of. It is
therefore, submitted that in absence of consideration accorded to
the objections to the proposed modification of the existing scheme,
final notification dated 03.05.2023 /04.05.2023 cannot be said to
have been issued in compliance with the requirement of the law as
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 1152024:KER:82723
per Chapter VI of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, particularly Section
102 of the Act.
ii. Section 102(2) mandates the State Government to publish any
modification proposal of the existing scheme in the Official Gazette
and in one of the newspaper of regional language having circulation
in the area which is proposed to be covered by such modification,
together with the date, not less than 30 days from the publication in
the Official Gazette and time and place where the representations
received in this behalf will be heard by the State Government. It is also
submitted that under Rule 246 of the KMV Rules, any scheme by the
State Government under Section 102 (1) of the MV Act for modifying
an approved scheme, the proposal and final notification are required
to be published in Form (E) and in Form (F) of the Appendix -I of the
KMV Rules respectively.
iii. Form (E) prescribes the time, date, and place of hearing given to
the objectors. The draft scheme published to modify the existing
scheme in Form (E) did not prescribe time, date, and place of hearing
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 116
2024:KER:82723
of the objections. Therefore, the said modification proposal itself was
invalid / defective as it was against the mandatory requirement of the
rules. Several persons could not object to the draft scheme nor did
participate in the hearing in absence of date, time and place in Form
‘E’. Therefore, the final notification is bad in law and liable to be set
aside as the draft notification was a defective notification.
iv. The mandate of Section 102 is for the State Government to modify
or cancel an existing scheme in the public interest, which would
suggest that after complying with the mandatory requirements under
Section 102 r/w relevant Rules, the final notification should be
published immediately. In the present case, the draft notification was
issued on 14.09.2020, and the final notification was published on
04.05.2023, which would suggest that there was no public interest
involved in modifying the existing scheme.
V. On the other hand, Adv. Renjith Thampan, the learned Senior
counsel assisted by Adv. P.C Chacko, appearing for KSRTC has
submitted that the final scheme has been published strictly in
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 117
2024:KER:82723
accordance with the mandate of the law as prescribed under the MV
Act and the Rules made thereunder. The objections were invited and
objectors were heard. After giving consideration to their objections,
the authority did not find any substance in their objections and the
final notification dated 03.05.2023/ 04.05.2023 was published. The
final notification would disclose that the objections were considered.
Law does not require that detail reasons should be given for rejecting
the objections. If the final notification indicates that objections have
been considered, it is sufficient compliance of law and absence of
reasons would not make the notification bad in law. It is further
submitted that Rule 246 of KMV Rules contemplates issuing the final
notification in Form ‘F’. The final notification has been issued strictly
as per requirement of Form ‘F’. Therefore, there has been sufficient
compliance of the provisions of the law.
VI. Learned Senior Counsel for the respondents has further
submitted that unlike Section 100, there is no time limit prescribed
for publication of the final scheme under Section 102. Therefore, the
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 118
2024:KER:82723
delay in publication of the final notification would not make the
notification bad in law.
VII. Adv. P. Santhosh Kumar, Special Government Pleader
(Motor Vehicles), Adv. S. Gopinathan, the learned Senior Government
Pleader and Adv. V.S Sreejith, learned Government Pleader appeared
in all cases for State have made similar submissions as advanced on
behalf of the KSRTC.
8. Relevant Provisions:-
Before adverting to the rival contentions and submissions
advanced on behalf of the parties, it is appropriate to take note of the
statutory scheme under the MV Act, and the Rules made thereunder.
Under Chapter VI, the Government has the power to prepare the
scheme for road transport services of State Transport Undertaking
and the power to cancel or modify such a scheme as per the
provisions of Chapter VI and the Rules made thereunder.
9. Section 99 prescribes, “if the State Government is of the
considered opinion that for the purposes of providing an efficient,
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 119
2024:KER:82723
adequate, economical and properly co-ordinated road transport
service, it is necessary in the public interest that road transport
services in general or any particular class of such service in relation
to any area or route or portion thereof should be run and operated by
the State Transport Undertaking, whether to the exclusion, complete
or partial, of other persons the State Government may formulate
proposal regarding a scheme giving particulars of the nature of the
services proposed to be rendered, the area or route proposed to be
covered and other relevant particulars. This proposed scheme is to
be published in the Official Gazette and not less than one newspaper
in the regional language circulating in the area or route proposed to
be covered by such scheme.”
10. The objections to the said proposal are to be received in 30
days from the date of the publication of the draft scheme and the
State Government is required to give consideration to the objections
after giving an opportunity of hearing to the objectors, and
thereafter, the final notification is to be published within an outer
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 120
2024:KER:82723
limit of one year from the date of publication of the proposed
scheme. Thus, the State Government may create a complete
monopoly / partial monopoly on a route/ routes or area for providing
transport services in general or in particular class in favour of the
State Road Transport Undertaking, if it is of the opinion that the
public interest demands such monopoly for providing an efficient,
adequate, economical and properly coordinated road transport
service in the area or route.
11. Section 102 empowers the State Government to cancel or
modify the existing scheme formulated under Section 100 of MV Act.
Section 102 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 would read as
under :-
“102. Cancellation or modification of scheme. –
(1) The State Government may, at any time, if it considers necessary,
in the public interest so to do, modify any approved scheme after
giving
(i)the State transport undertaking; and
(ii)any other person who, in the opinion of the State Government, is
likely to be affected by the proposed modification,
an opportunity of being heard in respect of the proposed
modification.
(2)The State Government shall publish any modification proposed
under sub-section (1) in the Official Gazette and in one of the
newspapers in the regional languages circulating in the area in which
it is proposed to be covered by such modification, together with the
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 1212024:KER:82723
date, not being less than thirty days from such publication in the
Official Gazette, and the time and place at which any representation
received in this behalf will be heard by the State Government.”
12. From a reading of the provision of Section 102, it is
evident that the government may modify at any time an existing
scheme to create a partial or complete monopoly in favour of State
Road Transport undertaking if the State Government considers it
necessary in the public interest to do so. However, before
modifying or cancelling the scheme, the State Government is
required to give an opportunity to be heard to the State Transport
Undertaking and any other persons who, in the opinion of the State
Government, is /are likely to be affected by the proposed
modifications.
13. Under Section 102(2), the proposed modification
scheme is to be published in an Official Gazette and in one of the
newspapers in the regional languages circulating in the area in
which it is proposed to be covered by such modification together
with the date, time and place at which any representation received
in this behalf will be heard by the State Government. However, the
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 122
2024:KER:82723
time for hearing the representation should not be less than 30 days
from the date of the publication of the notification.
14.Under Section 103 of the Act, for the purpose of giving
effect to the approved scheme in respect of the notified area or
notified routes, transport authorities may refuse to entertain any
application for grant or renewal of any other permit, reject any other
application as may be pending, cancel any existing permit, or
modify the terms of any existing permit.
Section 103 of the Motor Vehicles Act would read as
under:-
“103. Issue of permits to State transport
undertakings.–
(1) Where, in pursuance of an approved scheme, any State
transport undertaking applies in such manner as may be prescribed
by the State Government in this behalf for a stage carriage permit or
a goods carriage permit or a contract carriage permit in respect of a
notified area or notified route, the State Transport Authority in any
case where the said area or route lies in more than one region and
the Regional Transport Authority in any other case shall issue such
permit to the State transport undertaking, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in Chapter V.
(2) For the purpose of giving effect to the approved scheme in
respect of a notified area or notified route, the State Transport
Authority or, as the case may be, the Regional Transport Authority
concerned may, by order,–
(a) refuse to entertain any application for the grant or renewal of any
other permit or reject any such application as may be pending;
(b) cancel any existing permit;
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 123
2024:KER:82723
(c) modify the terms of any existing permit so as to–
(i) render the permit ineffective beyond a specified date;
(ii) reduce the number of vehicles authorised to be used under the
permit;
(iii) curtail the area or route covered by the permit in so far as such
permit relates to the notified area or notified route.
(3) For the removal of doubts, it is hereby declared that no appeal
shall lie against any action taken, or order passed, by the State
Transport Authority or any Regional Transport Authority under sub-
section (1) or sub-section (2).”
15.Section 104 further prescribes that after the Scheme
is published under Section 100(3) in respect of any notified area or
route, the State Transport Authorities shall not grant any permit
except in accordance with the provisions of the scheme. However,
where no application for a permit has been made by the State
Transport Undertaking in respect of any notified area or notified
route, in pursuance of the approved scheme, a temporary permit
may be granted to any person in respect of such notified area or
notified route, subject to the condition that such permit shall
be seized to be effective on issuance of permit to the State
Transport Undertaking in respect of that area or route.
16.Section 105 provides for compensation and payment
thereof. In case an existing permit is cancelled or modified under
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 124
2024:KER:82723
Section 103, the State Transport Authority is required to
compensate the holder of the permit, the amount of which shall be
determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 105(4) &
(5)
17.Section 107 empowers the State Government to make
Rules to implement the provisions of Chapter VI of the Kerala Motor
Vehicles Act.
Section 107 of the Motor Vehicles Act would read us under:-
107. Power of State Government to make rules. –
(1) The State Government may make rules for the purpose of
carrying into effect the provisions of this Chapter.
(2)In particular and without prejudice to the generality of the
foregoing power, such rules may provide for all or any of the
following matters, namely:
(a)the form in which any proposal regarding a scheme may be
published under section 99;
(b)the manner in which objections may be filed under sub-
section (1) of section 100;
(c)the manner in which objections may be considered and
disposed of under sub-section (2) of section 100;
(d)the form in which any approved scheme may be published
under sub-section (3) of section 100;
(e)the manner in which application under sub-section (1) of
section 103 may be made;
(f)the period within which the owner may claim any article found
left in any transport vehicle under section 106 and the manner
of sale of such article;
(g)the manner of service of orders under this Chapter;
(h)any other matter which has to be, or may be, prescribed”
18. Analysis:-
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 125
2024:KER:82723
a. From reading of Section 107, it is evident that, the form in
which any proposal regarding a scheme may be published under
Section 99, the manner in which the objections may be filed under
Section 100(1), the form in which any approved scheme is to be
published etc are within the domain of the State Government.
b.In exercise of the powers conferred under Section 107, the
State Government has framed the Rules and prescribed the form
under the Kerala Motor Vehicles Rules 1989 in (Appendix-I). Rule
246 of the KMV Rules, provides for the manner of publication of the
proposal to modify the approved scheme under Section 102 in
Form (E) and the final scheme in Form (F) as provided in Appendix-I
of the said Rules.
Rule 246 of the Kerala Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 would read
as under:-
“246.Modification of approved scheme.‐
(a) Any scheme by the State Government under subsection (1) of Section
102 of the Act to modify an approved scheme shall be in Form “E” and shal
l be published in the Official Gazette and in not less than one daily newsp
aper in the regional language circulating in the area involved. A copy of
this scheme shall be sent to the State Transport Undertaking and to
any other person, who in the opinion of the State Government is likel
y to be affected by the proposed modification. Copy shall also be sent to
the Secretary of the State Transport Authority and the Regional Transport
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 1262024:KER:82723
Authority concerned.
(b) The State Transport Undertaking or the other person concerned may,
within thirty days from the date of publication of the scheme in the
Gazette, file objections thereto, before the Secretary to Government,
Public Works and Transport Department, Government Secretariate, Triv
andrum. The objection shall be in the form of a memorandum setting forth
concisely the grounds of objection, and shall be signed by the objector or
his authorised representative. Six additional copies of the memorandum
shall also be sent.
(c) The objection shall be heard by the same authority and in the same ma
nner as provided in Rule 238.
(d) Any scheme as modified by Government under sub‐
section (1) of Section 102 of the Act shall be notified in the Gazette in For
m “F”.”
d.Rule 246 of the KMV Rules, is couched in language that
mandates the publication of the proposed scheme and the final
scheme in Form (E) & (F) respectively. Therefore, the question that
needs to be considered is, when the proposed scheme was not
published in compliance with the provisions of Rule 246 in Form
(E), then whether the final notification would be invalid as the
proposed scheme published was defective and not as per the
mandate of Rule 246 of the KMV Rules.
19. Important decisions:-
After taking note of the aforesaid relevant statutory
provisions on the subject, it would be appropriate to take note of
the relevant case laws on the subject.
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 127
2024:KER:82723
20. The Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court in H.C
Narayanappa v. State of Mysore and others [AIR 1960 SC 1073
; 1960 KHC 729], while considering the objections to a scheme
published by the State Government under Section 68 C of the
Motor Vehicles Act, 1939 held that under the provisions of
Section 68 D of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, the State
Government was under a duty to act judicially in considering the
objections and in approving or modifying the scheme proposed
by the Transport Undertaking.
21.The Supreme Court held that Section 68 D of the Motor
Vehicles Act, 1939, conferred upon the persons likely to be
affected by the proposed scheme an opportunity to put forth their
objections and make representation to the State Government.
However, the ultimate order passed by the authority would not be
opened to challenge either on the ground that another view could
have been possible on the objections or that detailed reasons
were not given for upholding or rejecting the contentions raised
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 128
2024:KER:82723
by the objectors.
Paragraphs 13 and 14 of the said judgment are extracted
hereunder:-
13.The plea that the Chief Minister who approved the scheme under S.,
68D was biased has no substance. Section 68D of the Motor Vehicles Act
undoubtedly imposes a duty on the State Government to act judicially in
considering the objections and in approving or modifying the scheme
proposed by the transports undertaking. Gullapalli Nageswara Rao v.
Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation and another(1). It is
also true that the Government on whom the duty to decide the dispute
rests, is substantially a party to the dispute but if the Government or the
authority to whom the power is delegated acts judicially in approving or
modifying the scheme, the approval or modification is not open to
challenge on a presumption of bias. The Minister or the officer of the
Government who is invested with the power to hear objections to the
scheme is acting in his official capacity and unless there is reliable
evidence to show. that he is biased, his decision will not be liable to be
called in question, merely because he is, a limb of the Government. The
Chief Minister of the State has filed an affidavit in this case stating that
the contention of the petitioners that he was ” biased in favour of the
scheme was baseless he has also stated that he heard
such objections and representation& as were made before him and he
had given the fullest opportunity to the objectors to submit their
objections individually. The Chief Minister has given. detailed reasons for
approving the scheme and has dealt with such of the objections as he
says were urged before him. In the last para. of the reasones given, it is
stated that the Government have heard all the arguments advanced on
behalf of the operators and ” after: giving full consideration-to them, the
Government have come to (1959) Supp. 1 S.C.R.319 the conclusion that
the scheme is necessary in the interest of the public and is accordingly
approved subject to the modifications that it shall come into force on
May 1, 1959 “. In the absence of any evidence controverting these
averments, the plea of bias must fail.
14.The argument that the Chief Minister did not give genuine
consideration ” to the objections raised by operators to the scheme in the
light of the conditions prescribed has no force. The order of the Chief
Minister discusses the questions of law as well as questions of fact.
There is no specific reference in the order to certain objections which
were raised in the reply filed by the objectors, but we are, on that account,
unable to hold that the Chief Minister did not consider those objections.
The guarantee conferred by s. 68D of the Motor Vehicles Act upon
persons likely to be affected by the intended scheme is & guarantee of an
opportunity to put forth their objections. and to make representations to
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 129
2024:KER:82723
the State Government against the acceptance of the scheme. This
opportunity of making representations and of being heard in support
thereof may be regarded as real only if in the consideration of the
objections, there is a judicial approach. But the Legislature does not
contemplate an appeal to this Court against the order passed by the
State Government approving or modifying the scheme. Provided the
authority invested with the power to consider the objections gives an
opportunity to the objectors to be heard in the matter and deals with the
objections in the light of the object intended to be secured by the
scheme, the ultimate order passed by that authority is not open to
challenge either on the ground that another view may possibly have been
taken on the objections or that detailed reasons have not been given for
upholding or rejecting the contentions raised by the objectors.”
22.The Supreme Court thus, held that the opportunity to
make representation and be heard in support of it should be real
only if the objections were considered using a judicial approach.
Detailed reasoning may not be required, but the order must
reflect that the authority has considered the objections
judicially.
23.In Rasid Javed Another vs. State of Uttarpradesh [
2010 (7) SCC 781], considered the provision of Sections 99,100
and 102 and held that the nationalised scheme published under
the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939 will continue until duly modified
under the provisions of Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 in accordance
with its provisions. It was further held that the Officer appointed
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 130
2024:KER:82723
by the State Government to hear objections in respect of the
proposed modified scheme under Section 102 (1) & (2) would
have limited authority of hearing given to said authority by the
State Government and the same cannot be treated as enlarged
in its scope and he must confine his activity within the four
corners of the powers vested in him. If the authority empowered
to hear the objections on behalf of the State Government, as a
delegate acts beyond the powers vested in him, his action
cannot have any legal sanction unless ratified by the delegator.
24. Section 102 makes it manifestly clear that
modification of the approved scheme may be done by the State
Government in the public interest after giving the opportunity of
being heard in respect of the proposed modification to the State
Transport Undertaking and the persons likely to be affected by
the proposed modification. If the State Government delegates
the power of hearing to an authority, the said authority cannot
approve the proposed modification of the approved scheme.
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 131
2024:KER:82723
Paragraphs 49 to 51 of the said judgment are extracted
hereunder: –
“49. On behalf of the appellants, it was contended that in
the proposed modification published in the Official Gazette on 16-
4-1999, the authority to hear the objections/representations was
given to Shri Zamiruddin, Special Secretary and Additional Legal
Remembrancer and the said Hearing Authority after hearing the
objections of the affected persons and UPSRTC approved the
proposed modification and rejected the objections received in this
regard and the approval by the Hearing Authority of the proposed
modification by his order dated 11-10-1999 is the approval of the
State Government.
50. Is the order dated 11-10-1999 of the Hearing Authority
approving the proposed modification published in the Official
Gazette dated 16-4-1999, an order of the State Government
modifying the approved Scheme of 1993 under Section 102(1) of the
1988 Act? The answer has to be in the negative because Shri
Zamiruddin was given authority to hear the representations
received by the State Government to the proposed modification but
no authority was given to him to approve the proposed modification
or modify the approved scheme. The Notification dated 16-4-1999
does not empower the Hearing Authority to approve or modify the
scheme; he has only been empowered to hear the objections.
51. That a person who hears must decide and that divided
responsibility is destructive of the concept of judicial hearing is too
fundamental a proposition to be doubted. This settled principle has
also been highlighted by this Court in Gullapalli Nageswara Rao but
based on such principle the limited authority of hearing given to the
Hearing Authority by the State Government cannot be treated as
enlarged in its scope. A delegatee must confine his activity within
four corners of the powers invested in him and if he has acted
beyond that, his action cannot have any legal sanction unless
ratified by the delegator.”
25.The Supreme Court in B. A Linga Reddy vs.
Karnataka State Transport Authority [(2015) 4 SCC 515], after
considering the provisions of Chapter VI of the M V Act and
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 132
2024:KER:82723
Sections 68 C to 68 E of the Kerala Motor Vehicles Act, 1939,
held that the modification of a scheme is a quasi-judicial
function and while modifying or canceling a scheme, the State
Government is duty bound to consider the objections and give
reasons either to accept or reject them. It is the duty of the
State to give reasons and to pass a speaking order to exclude
the arbitrariness in action. The State is supposed to act in
the public interest while exercising powers under Section 102.
The requirement of proper hearing, consideration of objections
judicially and passing reasoned order pursuance of the
objections are the mandatory requirements of the law and non
compliance therewith would render modification/cancellation
of the scheme invalid.
Paragraph 17 of the said judgment is extracted
hereunder:-
“17. It is apparent from the provisions that the scheme is framed
for providing efficient, adequate, economical and properly co-
ordinated road transport service in public interest. Section
102 of the Act of 1988 does not lay down the requirement of
recording any express finding on any particular aspect; whereas
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 1332024:KER:82723
the duty is to hear and consider the objections. It requires the
State Government to act in public interest to cancel or modify a
scheme after giving the State Transport Undertaking or any other
affected person by the proposed modification an opportunity of
hearing. The State is supposed to be acting in public interest
while exercising the power under the provision. However, that
does not dispense with the requirement to record reasons while
dealing with objections. Modification of the scheme is a quasi-
judicial function while modifying or cancelling a scheme. The
State Government is duty-bound to consider the objections and
to give reasons either to accept or reject them. The rule of reason
is anti-thesis to arbitrariness in action and is a necessary
concomitant of the principles of natural justice.”
26. Conclusions:-
From the impugned scheme, it is evident that there are
no reasons even in brief coming forth for rejecting the
objections filed by the petitioners to the proposed scheme
dated 14.09.2020 except for the saying that the objections
were considered, and objectors were heard as mentioned in
the final impugned notification dated 03.04.2023 /
04.05.2023.
27.The counter affidavit filed on behalf of the State
Government does not disclose any material suggesting in
what manner the objections were considered and rejected,
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 134
2024:KER:82723
and reasons thereof. The proposed scheme for modification
of the existing scheme was published on 14.09.2020 and the
modified scheme was published verbatim as the proposed
scheme on 03.05.2023 /04.05.2023. If the State Government
was of the opinion that the modification of the existing
scheme was in public interest, then the final modified
scheme ought to have been published immediately after
hearing the objectors. Here the final notification came after
more than two years and eight months from the date of
proposal.
28.Though a scheme cannot be said to be invalid, if it is
the same as was proposed. However, the order must disclose
that due consideration has been given to the objections, and
some reasons must come forth for rejecting the objections.
The Supreme Court in the case of B. A Linga Reddy (supra)
held that the State Government acts as a quasi-judicial
authority while considering the objections and in absence of
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 135
2024:KER:82723
the reasons for rejecting the objections, the final scheme is
rendered illegal.
29.I am of the view that the final notification suffers from
illegality, inasmuch as there is nothing on record to suggest
that due consideration was given to the objections filed by the
petitioners and others and that they were rejected by some
reasoned order.
30.The submission advanced on behalf of the learned
Senior Counsel for the KSRTC that if the scheme is published
in Form ‘F’ of (Appendix-I) of the KMV Rules, it would be
sufficient compliance with the requirement of the law, has no
force. The final scheme is published in Form (F), but the
reasons for disposing/rejecting the objections must come
forth from the order passed by the competent authority, who
considered the objections and heard the objectors.
31. Even otherwise, as Adv. Gopinathan Nair, pointed
out that the proposed scheme was not compliant to the
WPC No.17469 of 2023 & conn.cases 136
2024:KER:82723
mandatory requirement of Rule 246 of KMV Rules, inasmuch
as the proposed scheme published on 14.09.2020 did not
mention the place, date and time for hearing objections,
which is the mandatory requirement of Rule 246. The
proposed notification in Form ‘E’ was defective, and therefore,
the final notification cannot be said to be in accordance with
law. I find substance in the said submission of the learned
counsel for the petitioners.
In view of the aforesaid, the batch of writ petitions are
allowed and the impugned notification dated 03/04.05.2023,
is hereby set aside. However without costs.
