                                                      02.02.1977

                                                       ORDER

1. This appeal raises a short point as to whether executive instructions can be issued under Section
43-A of the Motor Vehicles (Madras Amendment) Act. 1948 in determining who should be awarded
a permit for running a stage carriage. This Court has held that executive instructions cannot be
issued to control the discretionary jurisdiction of the tribunals and the view taken by the High Court
is therefore correct. We dismiss the appeal. but, in the circumstances, without costs.

         Appeal dismissed.
