- Petitioners challenged Resolution No. 7(A) of the Dehradun Regional Transport Authority, passed in the meeting held on 01‑11‑2022, alleging procedural/ substantive issues.

- No new evidence or distinct legal question was presented that would warrant a departure from the earlier decision.
Final Outcome
- The Court, by order dated 15‑09‑2026, disposed of the writ petitions in terms of the judgment rendered in Special Appeal No. 534 of 2015, effectively upholding the Regional Transport Authority’s Resolution No. 7(A).
