66. The cases which have presented difficulty are those in which there is a prohibition by the owner of the vehicle to his driver from carrying passengers at his will and cases where the Permit or the Rules prohibited the carriage of passengers. I have dealt with the latter aspect in the last mentioned paragraphs and held that the owner of the vehicle cannot plead the violation of the Permit or the Rules by himself or his driver. Coming to the former aspect where there is no proof of express prohibition by the owner of the vehicle to his driver, it has been held by the Supreme Court in Pushpa Bai's case (Supra) and by our High Court in M. Krishna Rao v. S. Venkateswara Rao 1986 (1) APLJ 425 (DB) following the dictum of Lord Denning quoted therein, that the owner of the vehicle is liable. A distinction is made between acts done outside the sphere or course of employment and those done within the said sphere. It was held that the owner of the vehicle is liable.
