LMV Licence Vs. Transport vehicle licence

In the case of Mukund Dewangan case decided in 2017, the Supreme Court permits LMV licence holder to driver a transport vehicle without specific endorsement.

Now the Solicitor General of India has sought review of the said judgment.   The news on points raised by the Solicitor General on behalf of the Insurance Companies for review of the said judgment.  To my mind, they are valid points.   Some of the points are as follows-

(i)  the licence regime for licences in respect of LMV and Transport vehicles under the MV Act is separate and different.

(ii)    to carry passengers in the transport vehicle, greater check is required and such a check cannot change because the weight of such transport vehicle is less than 7,500 kg

(iii)    2017 Judgment of the SC permits LMV licence holder to drive transport vehicle posing risk to lives to thousands of people.  For example, an autorickshaw driver can drive road-roller or bus or goods carriage.
