Robin Bus Owner Responds to High Court Ruling on Contract Carriage Board

The High Court has dismissed a plea by the owner of Robin Bus, a private bus service, against the government’s action to prevent the bus from operating without a valid contract carriage board. The court ruled that the Contract Carriage Board cannot be posted from a stand, as it is a requirement for private buses to operate.

The owner of Robin Bus, Gireesh, had filed a petition against the government’s action, claiming that the bus was operating with all necessary permits and licenses. However, the court rejected the plea, stating that the bus was violating the law by not displaying a valid contract carriage board.

In response to the court’s ruling, the owner of Robin Bus stated that the bus was not allowed to carry passengers, and that it was being operated solely for the purpose of transporting goods. However, this claim was disputed by the government, which stated that the bus was being used to transport passengers without a valid contract carriage board.

The High Court’s ruling has been seen as a victory for the government, which has been cracking down on private buses operating without valid permits and licenses. The ruling is also expected to have implications for other private bus services operating in the state.

Meanwhile, the owner of Robin Bus has introduced a new AC bus service, but has failed to attract enough passengers. The owner has claimed that the bus was “taken away” by the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), which has been operating a rival bus service in the area.
