SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO:10408 OF 2010 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th March, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner is a stage carriage operator conducting services on the route Ponnani-Kuttipuram as an ordinary service with stage carriage vehicle No: KL-54/3093. His regular permit was valid till 25.7.2009. Before the expiry of his permit the petitioner had applied for renewal of the same, which is still pending. In view of the fact that the application for renewal of regular permit was pending, the petitioner submitted Ext.P2 application for the re- issue of his temporary permit under Section 87(1)(d) of Kerala Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Initially a temporary permit was granted for the period from 26.7.2009 to 26.11.2009. Though the petitioner has submitted an application for re-issue of the temporary permit, his complaint is that no orders have been passed thereon till date. Consequently, his vehicle is remaining idle. He therefore, seeks appropriate directions for passing of orders on his application, without delay. 2. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the application of the petitioner for the re-issue of his temporary permit evidenced herein WPC 10408/2010 2 by Ext.P2 and to pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of ten days from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
