Summary
State Transport Appellate Tribunal can, on an application, call the record of a case decided by a State or Regional Transport Authority where no appeal lies. If it finds the order improper or illegal, it may pass any fitting order, and that order is final. The application must be within 30 days unless delay is excused for good cause, and affected persons must be given a reasonable hearing.
Example
Priya gets a licence suspension order from the Regional Transport Authority and no appeal is available. She applies to the State Transport Appellate Tribunal within 30 days. The Tribunal finds the suspension improper, gives affected persons a chance to be heard, and sets aside the order; its order is final.
