What should I read with Section 107 of the Motor Vehicles Act, and has it changed?

Its own text turns on section 99 (Preparation and publication of proposal regarding road transport service of a State transport undertaking), section 100 (Objection to the proposal), section 103 (Issue of permits to State transport undertakings), section 106 (Disposal of article found in vehicles), so none of them can safely be read on its own. The rules and notifications made under it are where it actually bites, and there are 4: most recently Amendments to the Tamil Nadu Motor Transport Workers Rules, 1961 (2020), then Andaman and Nicobar Motor Vehicles Rules 2006 (2006), and 2 more.
