How do I find court cases under Section 57 of the Motor Vehicles Act?

In judgments and charge sheets this section is written several ways, and each form finds a different set of orders. These search the full text of every order eCourtsIndia holds, best matches first: Motor Vehicles Act 57, section 57 Motor Vehicles Act, section 57 of the Motor Vehicles Act. Each opens the full list of orders on eCourtsIndia, where it can be narrowed by court, year and outcome.

What should I read with Section 57 of the Motor Vehicles Act, and has it changed?

Its own text turns on section 41 (Registration, how to be made), section 42 (Special provision for registration of motor vehicles of diplomatic officers, etc), section 43 (Temporary registration), section 45 (Refusal of registration or renewal of the certificate of registration), and on 7 further provisions, so none of them can safely be read on its own.

When was the Motor Vehicles Act enacted?

Motor Vehicles Act was enacted in 1988 as Act 59 of 1988. India Code records no commencement date for it. It is in force as at the date shown on this page.
