Sir Chhotu Ram Senior Secondary School vs The New India Assurance Company Ltd. & ... on 15 March, 2010

18. Copy of the driving licence of Ram Singh, who was driving the vehicle in question, has been produced as Ex.C-10. After the amendment of the Motor Vehicle Act, the distinction between the 'light motor vehicle' and the 'transport vehicle' has been clearly defined. A transport vehicle may be a light First Appeal No.519 of 2008 6 motor vehicle, but for driving the same, a distinct licence is required to be maintained. In the present case, the licence was admittedly for LMV and there was no endorsement to drive the transport vehicle. As per the Goods Carriage Permit for Hire and Reward Ex.C-8, type of vehicle was 'light transport vehicle/open truck' and the permit was issued for carrying goods. Hon'ble Supreme Court in case New India Assurance Co. Ltd. Prabhu Lal (supra), held that a driver, holding driving licence to ply light motor vehicle is not entitled to ply heavy motor vehicle/transport vehicle, in the absence of necessary endorsement.
