ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 37449 OF 2007 G = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 27th February, 2008 J U D G M E N T Ext. P1 is the judgment of the STAT granting permit subject to settlement of timing. It is seen that by Ext. P2 when the matter came up before the R.T.A. on 7.8.2007, the RTA adjourned the matter for filing an appeal. Aggrieved by this, petitioner has filed this writ petition. It is settled position of law that the RTA is not a party aggrieved by the proceedings of the STAT and is expected to fully carry out the directions of the STAT. In view of this I do not find any justification for the RTA's decision in Ext. P2 and hence Ext. P2 will stand quashed. 2. The RTA shall implement Ext. P1 judgment of the STAT as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. I clarify that the grant of permit made by the RTA pursuant to Ext. P1, will be subject to any decision that may be rendered in modification of Ext. P1. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
