Word   &#8216;permit&#8217;   is   governed   by   the   provisions        under<\/p>\n<p>    Chapter V of the Motor Vehicles Act and it includes permits of broad<\/p>\n<p>    category such as the use of vehicle as a transport vehicle vide<\/p>\n<p>    Section 66, stage carriage permits vide Section 72, private service<\/p>\n<p>    vehicle permit vide Section 76, goods carriage permit vide Section 77<\/p>\n<p>    and temporary permits for special purposes i.e. for conveyance of<\/p>\n<p>    passengers on special occasions such as to and from fair and religious<\/p>\n<p>    gatherings or seasonal business etc.          We, therefore, find in the first<\/p>\n<p>    instance that the circular which directs that no vehicle shall be<\/p>\n<p>    registered without permit is grossly vague and its intention cannot be<\/p>\n<p>    discovered.\n<\/p>\n<p>    5.             The    learned    Additional      Government        Pleader         for<\/p>\n<p>    respondents, however, submitted that the Commissioner of Transport<\/p>\n<p>    has by the impugned circular insisted for permit before registration<\/p>\n<p>    because a large number of buses are being used without a &#8216;State<\/p>\n<p>    permit&#8217;.       What is, however, important to see is whether the<\/p>\n<p>    respondents have any authority in them to refuse registration without<\/p>\n<p>    insisting for State permit.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                           ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 16:01:00 :::<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     wp548.10.odt                                                                    5\/7<\/p>\n<p>    6.

Section 40 and 41 of the Motor Vehicles Act provide for<\/p>\n<p>    registration and Section 43 provides for temporary registration of the<\/p>\n<p>    vehicle. It appears from a joint reading of the aforesaid Sections that<\/p>\n<p>    registration of vehicle is the primary duty of a owner of the vehicle and<\/p>\n<p>    therefore, the law imposes a corresponding duty on the authorities to<\/p>\n<p>    grant such registration in accordance with the conditions stipulated by<\/p>\n<p>    the Motor Vehicles Act. We do not find any provision which permits the<\/p>\n<p>    imposition of a condition to the effect that owner of the vehicle must<\/p>\n<p>    have obtained any permit before he applies for registration of the<\/p>\n<p>    vehicle.   It follows therefore that the Transport Commissioner is not<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                        ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 16:01:00 :::<\/span><br \/>\n     wp548.10.odt                                                                   6\/7<\/p>\n<p>    entitled to impose any special condition such as the requirement of<\/p>\n<p>    obtaining a permit before registration of vehicle. It is well settled that<\/p>\n<p>    subordinate legislation, rules, regulations, circulars can supplement<\/p>\n<p>    the statutory provisions and the Courts would also uphold the same.\n<\/p>\n<p>    But the circular dated 30.5.2009 clearly supplants the provisions of<\/p>\n<p>    Motor Vehicles Act as discussed above. The Courts would not uphold<\/p>\n<p>    such an attempt through Circular to supplant the express provisions of<\/p>\n<p>    Central Law.     We may, however, make it clear that in appropriate<\/p>\n<p>    cases, temporary registration of the vehicle can be granted. We find<\/p>\n<p>    that in order to overcome practical difficulties, which may arise, the<\/p>\n<p>    law provides for the temporary registration.       However, registration<\/p>\n<p>    per se is something that cannot be denied on the condition upon<\/p>\n<p>    obtaining of permit by vehicle owner. The registration of vehicle qua a<\/p>\n<p>    person is must in order to fix its responsibility for several purposes.\n<\/p>\n<p>    Permits are intended for use for special purposes enumerated in the<\/p>\n<p>    Motor Vehicles Act.   In a given case, the owner of the vehicle may<\/p>\n<p>    intend to use his vehicle for special purpose such as transport etc., for<\/p>\n<p>    which case, he must obtain permit. It is equally possible that a vehicle<\/p>\n<p>    may be stopped from being used for the special purpose. Throughout,<\/p>\n<p>    however, registration of the vehicle is a must and there is no<\/p>\n<p>    alternative to it.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                       ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 16:01:00 :::<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     wp548.10.odt                                                                   7\/7<\/p>\n<p>    8.
