GOVT.PLEADER SMT.M.R.SREELATHA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/04/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 11530 OF 2009 (I) ===================== Dated this the 7th day of April, 2009 J U D G M E N T Ext.P3 is an application made by the petitioner for replacement of the vehicle. 2. The petitioner states that he is operating the vehicle on the strength of a temporary permit issued under Section 104 of the Motor Vehicles Act. The vehicle has become old, and he wanted to get it replaced. However, the said application is not considered by the respondent. It is with that grievance, the writ petition is filed. 3. In my view, if what the petitioner says is factually correct, there is no justification in the stand taken by the respondent. If the petitioner has made an application in the nature of Ext.P3, that ought to have been accepted and considered by the respondent. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that it will be open to the petitioner to present Ext.P3 before the respondent, in which case, the same shall be considered on merits, within four weeks of its receipt. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
