The association had petitioned the court for permission to operate sleeper buses on roads and highways. After hearing the petition, the court dismissed it.
In its order, the court said that no vehicle lacking BRTA approval would be allowed to operate on roads or highways. Sleeper buses must be operated in accordance with the rules prescribed under the Road Transport Act 2018.
