Transport Permissions are mostly granted for wrong reasons. Justice J. S. Verma said this could not be done

When we walk on paths or when we cross roads, we are exposed to road accidents, mostly by Public Transport Vehicles and buses.


Permits to ply a public transport vehicle is required to be obtained from Transport Department as per Motor Vehicle Act.


Such permits are often dens of corruptions and permissions are granted in lieu of political funds.


Justice J. S. Verma, laid down a guidelines in a 1990 Supreme Court judgement.


Any public spirited citizen can file a PIL in respective High Court, if he has material to show that guidelines of this judgement are not followed.
