Delhi Road Transport Laws (Amendment) Act, 1971

Infrastructure197130 sections

This Indian Act amends the Road Transport Corporations Act of 1950 to extend its provisions to Delhi. The legislation establishes a new road transport corporation in Delhi by transferring assets, debts, contracts, legal proceedings, employees, and regulatory authority from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi to this newly formed entity. Key aspects include making cognizable offenses apply to Delhi without geographic limits and transferring all property interests and obligations. The Act ensures seamless continuity by transferring employees with same terms and conditions, maintaining existing contracts, and allowing legal proceedings to continue against the new corporation. This creates a unified transport corporation system for efficient road services throughout the Union Territory of Delhi by providing a clear legal framework for organizational restructuring while protecting employees' rights and maintaining regulatory consistency.
