Bolani Ores Ltd. Etc vs State Of Orissa Etc on 24 September, 1974

The Court referred to the manufacturer description of the vehicle and held that they were "motor vehicles" and adapted for use upon roads". Similarly I have also relied on the manufacturer's Manual and have come to the conclusion that the dumpers which are the subject of this petition possess the attribute of being suitable or fit for use upon roads i.e. public roads and are a "motor vehicle". The present case in my view is indistinguishable from Bolani Ores case.

Dunlop India Ltd vs Union Of India And Ors on 6 October, 1975

12. Counsel for the petitioner contends that this is not the popular or the commercial sense in which dumpers are understood in the commercial world. I was referred to Dunlop India Ltd. v. Union of India - AIR 1977 SC 597 Counsel said that the dumpers of their manufacture and make the particularly suitable for the function of hauling and are unsuitable and uncommercial for the roads on which they would be only a source of danger or damage. I was referred to teh standards adn specifications of teh Indian Road Congres recommended for motor vehicles which use roads. Counsel argued that these dumpers are generally called "off-the- highway" dumpers and are used in mining and protect areas and are never used on the raods. It may be that they are known as "off-the-highway" dumpers in common parlance. But they do not case to be dumpers. The epithet "off-the-highway" used in relation to them will not take the vehicle out of the category of "motor vehicle".
