Section 32 of MVA : Section 32: Revocation Of A Conductor'S Licence On Grounds Of Disease Or Disability

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where John, who works as a bus conductor, has recently been diagnosed with a severe neurological disorder that impairs his motor skills and reaction time. The local transport authority, upon receiving a medical report indicating John's condition, considers this as reasonable grounds to believe that John is unfit to perform his duties safely as a conductor. As a result, the authority decides to invoke Section 32 of The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.

Before revoking John's conductor's licence, the authority sends him a notice explaining the situation and invites him to a hearing. At the hearing, John has the opportunity to present his case and any medical evidence that could support his ability to continue working as a conductor. However, if the authority remains convinced that John's condition will permanently affect his job performance, they will proceed to revoke his licence to ensure the safety of passengers. The authority that issued John's licence will then be informed of this revocation.
