SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO.23240 OF 2010 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 26TH DAY OF JULY, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a Stage Carriage operator. As per proceedings dated 29.1.2010, the petitioner was granted a regular permit to conduct services as “Super Fast”, on the route Pulpally - Chingavanam. According to the petitioner, on 1.3.2010 itself, the petitioner had submitted the original of the Certificate of Registration and connected records of his vehicle before the respondent for getting the regular permit issued. The petitioner was then informed that the regular permit would be issued only after obtaining the Service Verification Report from the RTO, Thiruvananthapuram. This was because the vehicle was garaged at Pappanamcode, Thiruvananthapuram and exemption from payment of tax was obtained in respect of the said vehicle by submitting Exts.P2 and P2(a) G forms. The exemption was endorsed on the petitioner's Certificate of Registration only on 16.4.2010, as evidenced by Ext.P5. The petitioner complains that even after obtaining Ext.P5 endorsement, the regular permit has not been issued Wpc 23240/2010 2 to him in spite of repeated demands. Ext.P6 request is still pending before the respondent. I have heard the learned Senior Government Pleader also. 2. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the request of the petitioner, evidenced herein by Ext.P6, in accordance with law, and to pass appropriate orders thereon, issuing the permit, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
