Motor Vehicles Act | Transport Permit is Inheritable Property; Renewal Mandatory Despite Delay if Succession Litigation Pending : Madras HC
Madras High Court rules that a transport permit under the Motor Vehicles Act is inheritable property, and its renewal cannot be denied merely due to delays beyond three months post-death if a partition suit is pending. The court held that preliminary decrees establishing enforceable interests obligate authorities to process renewals, ensuring legal heirs' rights are protected during succession disputes.
