BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI I.V.PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C) 5921 of 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated: February 20, 2008 JUDGMENT The challenge is against Exts.P2 and P4 by which the regular permit application made by the petitioner was rejected for the reason of overlapping in the route. The contention raised before me is that even if it was so, the Tribunal ought to have given the petitioner an opportunity to modify the route and on that basis the application should have been considered. 2. Now that the proceedings have reached finality, I think ends of justice can be met if the petitioner is allowed to file a fresh application making suitable modifications. Therefore I direct that if the petitioner makes a fresh application for the route in question excluding the overlapping portion, that will be considered by the 1st respondent untrammelled by Exts.P2 and P4. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/-
