Along with the said application he has submitted proposed timings as well. After considering Ext.P1 application, the first respondent has issued Ext.P2 as per which the matter was adjourned with a direction to the applicant to modify the route and then furnish the type and seating capacity of the vehicle as per Section 7(1)(b) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Ext.P2 would reveal that no final decision has actually been taken on Ext.P1. Ext.P1 is an application for permit in respect of a stage carriage. When such an application is received, the first respondent is duty bound to pass orders thereon. In the said circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P1 application submitted by the petitioner untrammelled by Ext.P2. It shall be done within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. C.T.RAVIKUMAR Judge TKS
