Holder Of LMV Driving License Doesn't Need Separate Authorisation To Drive Transport Vehicle Weighing Less Than 7500 KG : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled that holders of a Light Motor Vehicle (LMV) driving license can drive transport vehicles with an unladen weight of less than 7500 kg without needing a separate endorsement. The decision was based on a harmonious interpretation of the Motor Vehicles Act, considering the livelihood implications for drivers. The court referenced the Mukund Dewangan case, which previously held that no separate endorsement is required for LMV license holders to drive such transport vehicles. This ruling provides clarity and relief for LMV license holders, ensuring they can legally drive certain transport vehicles without additional bureaucratic hurdles, thereby supporting their employment opportunities.
