R. SRIHARI NAIDU versus GOVT. OF ANDHRA PRADESH & ORS.

The failure to issue a fresh notification by the reconstituted Regional Transport Authority did not invalidate subsequent proceedings or the denial of a permit to the appellant, as applications could have been filed without notification, and no failure of justice occurred, especially as both authorities were properly constituted and considered the material after hearing all parties. The appellate findings on merits, including reduction of marks and consideration of adverse entries, could not be disturbed in writ proceedings.
