TO JUDGE knc/- P.R. RAMAN, J. ============= W.P.(C) NO. 31104 OF 2006 =================== DATED THIS, THE 8TH DAY OF JANUARY, 2007 J U D G M E N T Petitioner was granted with a regular stage carriage permit on the route Moonnekkar - Ottappalam, by Ext.P1. According to him, he has produced the current records of the vehicle for issuance of the permit. But timings conference is not yet held. In such circumstances, Ext.P2 application for temporary permit was submitted. 2. According to the petitioner there are urgent temporary need existing in the said route in connection with ongoing Sabarimala Festival season and the forthcoming Christmas season. Christmas season is already over and what remains is only the Sabarimala season. That will also be over by 14th January, 2007. As such, on the ground urged by the petitioner, the application for temporary permit cannot be directed to be considered at this distance of time. However, the grievance of the petitioner regarding the non issuance of regular permit is to be considered. Though a timing conference was convened earlier, it appears that petitioner was not present and hence WP(C)31104/06 :2: the same was adjourned. But according to the petitioner, timing conference was suo motu adjourned because of the death of one of the operators. At any rate, it is submitted by the Government Pleader that the next timing conference is scheduled to be held on 7.2.2007 on which day, without further notice, petitioner shall be present and the issuance of permit relating to his vehicle shall also be included in the said meeting and dispose of the same in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of as above. P.R. RAMAN, JUDGE. knc/-
