AMENDMENT) ACT, 1977

The Motor Vehicles (Haryana Amendment) Act, 1977

The Motor Vehicles (Haryana Amendment) Act, 1977, is a legislative adjustment to the central Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, specifically as it applies within the state of Haryana. The primary purpose of this amendment was to modify the eligibility criteria for judicial officers tasked with adjudicating transport-related disputes. By replacing the restrictive requirement of a "whole-time judicial officer" with the broader term "a judicial officer," the Act provided the state government with greater administrative flexibility in appointing personnel to handle transport appeals. For the ordinary citizen, this ensures that the legal machinery governing transport permits and disputes remains functional and adequately staffed, preventing procedural delays.
