Objection to the proposal
AI Assist
Summary
After publication in the Official Gazette and a regional newspaper, any person may object to the State Government within 30 days of the Gazette date. The State Government must consider objections, hear the objector and the State transport undertaking, and may approve or modify the proposal. The approved scheme is then published in the Gazette and becomes final and the route is notified. Inter-State routes need Central approval; if no approved scheme is gazetted within one year the proposal lapses (court stay periods excluded).
Example
Priya reads a proposed bus-route scheme in the Official Gazette that would remove her neighbourhood stop. She files an objection with the State Government within 30 days of the Gazette date. The State Government hears Priya and the State transport undertaking, modifies the route to keep the stop, publishes the approved scheme in the Gazette, and the route becomes notified.
