Road Traffic Act, 1933

Appeal from refusal of public service vehicle licence.

92.—(1) Whenever the Commissioner refuses an application for the grant or the transfer of a public service vehicle licence, the person by whom such application was made may appeal against such refusal in the case of a refusal on the ground that the applicant is not a fit and proper person to hold a public service vehicle licence, to the Justice of the District Court having jurisdiction in the place in which the applicant ordinarily resides and, in any other case, to the Minister.

(2) On the hearing of an appeal under this section the Justice or the Minister (as the case may be) may, as he shall think proper, either confirm the refusal which was the subject of such appeal or direct the Commissioner to make the grant or transfer (as the case may be) which was the subject of such refusal.

(3) The Justice or the Minister (as the case may be) shall cause notice of his decision on an appeal to him under this section to be given to the Commissioner and it shall be the duty of the Commissioner to comply with such decision in so far as it directs him to grant or transfer a public service vehicle licence.

(4) The decision of a Justice of the District Court or of the Minister (as the case may be) on an appeal under this section shall be final.
