CHAPTER V CONTROL OF TRANSPORT VEHICLES
Civil
Summary
The State Transport Appellate Tribunal may, if someone asks it to, call for the records of any case where an order has been made by a State Transport Authority or Regional Transport Authority and no appeal is possible against that order. If the Tribunal finds that the order is improper or illegal, it can pass any order it thinks fit in relation to the case, and that order will be final.
The Tribunal will not accept an application from a person who is aggrieved by such an order unless the application is made within thirty days from the date of the order.
The Tribunal may accept an application after the thirty-day period has expired if it is satisfied that the applicant was prevented by good and sufficient cause from making the application in time.
The Tribunal shall not pass an order under this section that is prejudicial to any person without giving that person a reasonable opportunity of being heard.
