Law: Motor Vehicles Act, 1939
Section: 43(4)(a),2(24),43A
Law: Government of India Act, 1935
Section: 299
(a) Motor Vehicles Act (IV of 1939)----- ---S. 43 (4) (a)Order cancelling permit-Purpose of order-Not necessary to state.

Subodh Gopal Bose and others A I R 1954 S C 92 and Dwarkadas Shrinivas v. The Sholapur Spinning & Weaving Co. Ltd. and others A I R 1954 S C 119 mentioned. (d) Government of India Act, 1935------ ----S. 299-Route permit to ply on public roads motor vehicle for hire-Not a right in land within meaning of section-Nor an interest in commercial undertaking. The public have a right of way in the routes in respect of which permits had been issued and cancelled.
