BY GP K C SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/02/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO. 6189 OF 2010 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 25TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a Stage Carriage operator conducting services on the route Kundukadavu Junction - Kundukadavu Junction Circular - on the basis of regular permit issued in respect of his vehicle KL-8/N 2268. According to the petitioner, his timings were settled as early as in 1995. After the introduction of his service, a number of permits have been granted to various other operators to conduct service on the route. Consequently, the conduct of the petitioner's service has become impracticable due to frequent conflicts with the timings of the other operators. Therefore, he has submitted a request for variation of his own timings. He complains that no action has been taken on his request so far. 2. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the request for variation of his own timings submitted by the petitioner, evidenced herein by Ext.P1, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, and at any rate, Wpc 6189/2010 2 within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
