https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=174204 Section 207(1) of the Motor Vehicles Act authorises seizure and detention only for specified statutory breaches, including use without a permit or breach of a permit condition relating to the route, area, or purpose of use. The provision was construed according to its clear and unambiguous language, so its scope could not be expanded by the permit form or the Maharashtra Motor Vehicles Rules. On that construction, carrying passengers beyond the permitted number was not a breach of the route, area, or purpose condition. The power of detention therefore does not extend to seizure of a vehicle merely for overloading passengers beyond the permit limit. en-us Fri, 21 Jan 2000 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 12:36:46 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=174204 Section 207(1) of the Motor Vehicles Act authorises seizure and detention only for specified statutory breaches, including use without a permit or breach of a permit condition relating to the route, area, or purpose of use.
