Harish Tandon, J. - (1.) The instant writ petition is filed challenging the resolution of the Regional Transport Authority dated 16.11.2017 on the ground that the said authority lacks jurisdiction and powers to review its earlier decision dated 22nd February, 2017 in absence of power of review provided in Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.
(2.) The petitioners are the transport operators with valid permits issued by the Regional Transport Authority, Burdwan and plying their vehicle as per the time table issued therefore. There is no grievance so far as the issuance of permit by the competent authority nor on the time table / time schedule appended thereto.
(3.)
