The petitioner has submitted Ext.P1 application for variation of his permit. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the receipt of Ext.P1 application carrying request for variation of permit, the second respondent has not taken any steps for placing the application before the first respondent. Admittedly, the first respondent is the authority competent to look into the request made by the petitioner in Ext.P1 application. Therefore, the second respondent is duty bound to place the application before the first respondent for consideration. In the said circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to place the application before the first respondent for consideration. On WPC.31057/2010 : 2 : receipt of Ext.P1 application, the first respondent shall consider the same in the next RTA meeting or within a period of two months from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment whichever is earlier, with notice to the petitioner and also to the existing operators on the route.
