The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988
90. Revision.
The State Transport
Appellate Tribunal may, on an application made to it, call for the record of
any case in which an order has been made by a State Transport Authority
or Regional Transport Authority against which no appeal lies, and if it appears
to the State Transport Appellate Tribunal that the order made by the State
Transport Authority or Regional Transport Authority is improper or illegal, the
State Transport Appellate Tribunal may pass such order in relation to the case
as it deems fit and every such order shall be final:
Provided that the State
Transport Appellate Tribunal shall not entertain any application from a person
aggrieved by an order of a State Transport Authority or Regional Transport
Authority, unless the application is made within thirty days from the date of
the order:
Provided further that the
State Transport Appellate Tribunal may entertain the application after the
expiry of the said period of thirty days, if it is satisfied that the
applicant was prevented by good and sufficient cause from making the application
in time: Provided also that the State Transport Appellate Tribunal shall not
pass an order under this section prejudicial to any person without giving him a
reasonable opportunity of being heard.
