Motor Vehicles Act Section 33 — Orders refusing, etc., conductor’s licences and appeals therefrom

CHAPTER III LICENSING OF CONDUCTORS OF STAGE CARRIAGES

Civil

Summary

Sub-section (1) states that when a licensing authority refuses to issue or renew a conductor's licence, or revokes an existing one, it must do so through a written order. This order must be communicated to the applicant or the licence holder, and it must include the reasons for the refusal or revocation in writing.

Sub-section (2) provides that any person who is unhappy with such an order can appeal against it. The appeal must be filed within thirty days of the order being served on that person. The appeal goes to the prescribed authority, which must give both the appellant and the authority that made the original order a chance to be heard. The decision made by the appellate authority is binding on the authority that issued the original order.
