Section 100 of MVA : Section 100: Objection To The Proposal

Explanation using Example

Imagine the State Government proposes a scheme to establish a new bus route in a city to improve public transportation. This proposal is published in the Official Gazette and a local newspaper in the regional language. Ramesh, a local taxi driver, believes this new route will negatively impact his business as it passes through areas where he usually gets many customers. Within the 30-day period, Ramesh files an objection to the proposal with the State Government, as allowed under subsection (1).

The State Government reviews Ramesh's objection and invites him to a hearing where he presents his concerns. After considering Ramesh's points and the needs for public transportation, the government decides to alter the original proposal to include stops that are less competitive with local taxi services, as per subsection (2).

The modified scheme is then published in the Official Gazette and the regional newspaper, becoming final on the date of its publication, as described in subsection (3). This new bus route, now an approved scheme, is set to start operations without affecting Ramesh's taxi service as significantly as the original proposal.

However, if the State Government had not published the approved scheme within one year of the initial proposal due to legal challenges or other delays (excluding any periods where publication was prevented by court orders), the proposal would have lapsed according to subsection (4).
