S. Viswanatham vs State Transport Appellate Tribunal And ... on 8 June, 1976
The decision in that case in regard to the invalidity of R. 134-A is based not on the ground that no rule in regard to delegation can be made under Section 68(1) but on the ground that no rule which travels beyond the provisions of the Act can be given effect to. In the Full Bench case of Satyanarayana v. Madras State, the majority followed the view taken in Amaravathi Transport Company v. State. In neither of the two cases cited, was there any observations in regard to the want of power on the part of the Government to make a rule in regard to the delegation of the powers and functions of the State Transport Authority or the Regional Transport Authority to any other Officer, by the Government.
