The Motor Vehicles (Kerala Amendment) Act, 1968, is a legislative measure enacted by the Kerala State Legislature to modify the permit-granting process for public transport within the state. By amending Section 47 of the central Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, this law establishes a specific hierarchy of preference for the issuance of stage carriage permits. It mandates that the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) receives priority, followed by registered co-operative societies, over individual private owners. This regulation ensures that public sector and collective ownership models are favored in the state's transit system, directly influencing how transport authorities allocate route permits to bus operators.
