To nationalise the Saharanpur - Shahdara - Delhi route a draft scheme dated 26th February, 1959 was published, and the approved scheme published on September 29, 1959 was quashed by the high Court by judgments dated October 31, 1961 and February 7, 1962 as against 50 operators and being upheld against other 50 operators. The State Govt. was permitted to given fresh hearing to the 50 objectors, on the basis of the original proposal which was upheld in Jeewan Nath Bahl & Ors. v. State of U.P. Out of the 50 operators some filed successive suits and obtained injunction from different courts scuttling the hearing and keeping it pending for well over 25 years. A writ petition was filed in this Court assailing, that the delay in approving the scheme amounts to an abuse of process of law, and that public interest thereby suffered, and the Court held in Shri Chand etc. v. Govt. of U.P. & Ors., (1985] Suppl. 2 SCR 688 that the delay of 26 years in disposing of the objections resulted in violation of Articles 14 and 19(1) (g) of the Constitution, and accordingly quashed the draft scheme dated February 26, 1959. The Government was directed to frame the scheme afresh, if necessary. Pursuant thereto the U.P. State Road Corporation published the draft scheme on February 13, 1986. While it was pending the Motor Vehicles Act 59 of 1988 came into force with effect from July 1, 1989. Bulandshahr to Delhi route was also nationalised in the approved scheme published in the State Gazette dated September 27, 1986. After the 1988 Act came into force, the respondents applied for and were granted permits for Saharanpur to Ghaziabad via Shahdara routes etc. The appellants filed the writ petitions in the High Court and the same were dismissed by judgment dated July 23, 1990. The draft scheme published in 1986 was held by the hearing authority to have been lapsed by operation of Section 100(4) of the Act. In the writ petition filed by the S.T.U. the High Court by its judgment dated March 16, 1990 held that the draft scheme stood lapsed within one year from the date of the publication of the draft scheme, and accordingly upheld the order of the hearing authority. S.L.P. No. 6300/91 was filed against this judgment. Special Leave Petition Nos. 9701/90, 9702/90 and 2083/91 were filed against the High Court's judgment dismissing the writ petitions in which grant of permits under Section 80 of the MotorĀ· Vehicles Act on the Muzaffarnagar- Chausana; Ghaziabad to Shahdara, Saharanpur to Ghaziabad covered and partly overlapping nationalised routes were questioned. On the questions : (1) what is the effect of Shri Chand etc. v. Govt. of U.P. over Jeevan Nath Bahl & Ors. v. State of U.P. and (2) whether the draft scheme dated February 13, 1986 stood lapsed under Section 100(4) of the Act. |
