Verdict

Verify on DOL — (i) DL is NOT expired (grace period 1 year under MV Act but the DL must be revalidated), (ii) DL class matches the vehicle (LMV only up to 7,500 kg GVW; a transport endorsement is required for taxi / cab / goods even up to 7,500 kg per some court views, though case-law is split post-Mukund Dewangan vs Oriental), (iii) HGV / HPMV / HTV for larger commercial, (iv) 2-wheeler with or without gear per cc. A learner driving without supervision = statutory violation. Record the DL number, class and expiry in the compliance block and attach the DL copy.

DOL पर verify करें — (i) DL expired नहीं (MV Act में 1 साल grace पर revalidation ज़रूरी), (ii) DL class गाड़ी से match (LMV सिर्फ़ 7,500 kg GVW तक; कुछ court views में 7,500 kg तक भी taxi/cab/goods के लिए transport endorsement ज़रूरी, Mukund Dewangan vs Oriental के बाद case-law बँटा हुआ), (iii) बड़े commercial के लिए HGV/HPMV/HTV, (iv) cc के हिसाब से gear सहित/रहित two-wheeler। बिना supervision learner चला रहा था — वैधानिक उल्लंघन। compliance block में DL number, class और expiry दर्ज करें, DL copy attach करें।
