S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ========================== W.P.(C).No.18434 of 2007 ========================== Dated this the 25th day of July, 2007 J U D G M E N T Petitioner's application for concurrence for renewal of permit was rejected on the ground that the route overlaps a notified route. This was upheld by the S.T.A.T. by Ext.P5 order. The petitioner contends that in view of Ext.P7 notification issued subsequent to Ext.P5 order, the matter may be remanded for fresh consideration in the light of the present notification. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the KSRTC. 3. Now that a new notification, Ext.P7, has come into force in respect of the route in question, it is only appropriate that the R.T.A. considers the application for concurrence for renewal of permit in the light of Ext.P7 notification. However, this shall only be after affording an opportunity of being heard to w.p.c.18434/07 2 the KSRTC also. This shall be done within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above.
