#temporary permit

Chhattisgarh High Court rules that if a temporary permit lacks a specified commencement time, the insurance policy is deemed effective from 12:01 AM on the date of issue. This holding imposes liability on insurers for accidents occurring on the same day, even if the policy was issued later in the day, clarifying ambiguity in permit interpretation under the Motor Vehicles Act.

Kerala High Court holds that authorities must decide temporary permit applications afresh, without being influenced by prior rejected orders, ensuring procedural fairness under the Motor Vehicles Act.
