SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. ----------------------- W.P.(C).No.4199 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 9th day of February, 2009. JUDGMENT Grievance of the petitioner is regarding the timing conference scheduled as per Ext.P2 notice. Petitioner states that he is the owner of the stage carriage bearing registration No.KRA 554 operating on the route Harippad - Thiruvalla. Renewal of the permit was declined and his appeal was also rejected on the ground of objectionable overlapping. A writ petition was filed by the petitioner against the aforesaid proceedings of the RTA and STAT as WP(c).No.36873/07 and is pending. 2. During the pendency of the writ petition, according to the petitioner, the 2nd respondent applied for revision of timings, proposing his timings. It is thereupon that by Ext.P2, the timing conference has been scheduled by the respondents tomorrow. WP(c).No.4199/09 /2/ In my view, if it is impermissible for the Ist respondent to grant the timing now sought for by the 2nd respondent, it is for the petitioner to raise the contentions before the first respondent himself during the course of the timing conference. Therefore, at this stage the course open to the petitioner is to appear before the first respondent and raise the objections regarding the request made by the 2nd respondent. With that liberty to the petitioner, the writ petition is closed. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment before the Ist respondent for compliance. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
