VISHNU DUTT AND ORS. versus STATE OF RAJASTHAN AND ORS.
Permits issued to RSRTC under the 1968 Agreement were invalid as they lacked countersignature by Haryana; permits issued to private operators (respondents) with countersignature by Haryana are valid despite being stated as exceeding quota, since invalid RSRTC permits should be ignored. Since High Court quashed STAT’s directions, all permits granted in pursuance thereof by RTA to appellants are illegal and of no effect. Relief granted to respondents by High Court is justified.
