does not include passengers in goods carriage whereas Section 2(25) of

difference in the definitions of the "goods vehicle" in 1939 Act and "goods
carriage" in 1988 Act is significant. By reason of the change in the
definitions of the terminology, the Legislature intended that a goods

carriage of goods". Carrying of passengers in a 'goods carriage', thus, is
