P1 TRUE COPY OF THE DECISION OF THE REGIONAL TRANSPORT AUTHORITY, MALAPPURAM, DT. 7.8.2007. /TRUE COPY/ P.S. TO JUDGE. ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 34143 OF 2007 M = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 1st January, 2008 J U D G M E N T Ext. P1 is the proceedings of the RTA held on 7.8.2007 allowing additional trips subject to settlement of timings. The complaint of the petitioner is that timing conference has not been convened and as a result thereof, the permit in respect of the additional trip has not been issued. 2. The learned Govt. Pleader, on instructions, submits that the settlement of timings is subject to the priority following the chart that is already prepared. However, I notice from Ext. P1 itself that the order was passed as early as on 7.8.2007 and despite the lapse of five months, there has not been any progress in the matter. This, certainly, is a very unsatisfactory situation. If the RTA has granted an order in favour of an operator, action shall be taken in time. 3. In view of this, I direct the respondent to settle the timing in terms of Ext. P1 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 WPC No. 34143/07 -2- weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is dispose of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
