Case Note & Summary
The Supreme Court addressed multiple applications concerning the registration of vehicles intended for public utility services under Writ Petition No. 13029/1985. The North Delhi Municipal Corporation sought permission to register CNG BS-IV Tata Trucks and Auto tippers, which was granted as they serve public utility purposes. Similarly, the East Delhi Municipal Corporation applied for the registration of BS-VI Hook Loaders for waste management, which was also allowed. Other applications included requests from private individuals and educational societies for the registration of various CNG compliant vehicles, including buses and trucks. The court noted that these vehicles were necessary for public services and had been purchased in compliance with earlier orders. The court directed that applications for vehicles that had been refused registration by the Transport Authority should be verified for further consideration. The court emphasized the importance of these vehicles in maintaining public services and allowed the applications accordingly. The decision underscored the court's commitment to facilitating public utility services through timely vehicle registrations.
