Madras HC reinforces that Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) cannot cancel driving licences solely based on an FIR without affording the driver a fair hearing. The ruling mandates procedural fairness under administrative law, ensuring drivers receive a show-cause notice and opportunity to respond before any adverse action.

Bombay High Court holds that a minor riding a motorcycle without a licence cannot be deemed contributorily negligent in a motor accident claim unless actual fault is proven.
