SRI.I.DINESH MENON RESPONDENT(S): ------------------- THE SECRETARY, REGIONAL TRANSPORT AUTHORITY, THRISSUR. GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 7981 OF 2009 (P) ==================== Dated this the 13th day of March, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that he is the registered owner of a Stage Carriage bearing Regn.No.KL-8/D.8445. Ext.P1 is the permit. By Ext.P2 proceedings of the RTA, transfer of permit was allowed. In the meantime, the vehicle became old by 15 years and therefore petitioner submitted Ext.P4 for its replacement with a new vehicle bearing Regn.No.KL-7/AB.3060. He also filed Ext.P3 application for renewal of the permit. In this writ petition, one of the complaint is regarding the refusal of the respondent to endorse Ext.P2 transfer on Ext.P1 permit for the reason that the current records in relation to the vehicle bearing Regn.No.KL-8/D.8445 are not produced. 2. In my view, there is absolutely no justification for the stand taken and the respondent is bound to endorse the transfer on Ext.P1. Therefore, the respondent is directed to endorse Ext.P2 transfer on Ext.P1 permit without insisting on the production of current records. 3. In the meantime, respondent is also directed to WPC 7981/09 :2 : consider and pass orders on Exts.P3, P4 and P5 applications made by the petitioner for renewal of the permit, replacement of the vehicle and for temporary permit. Orders on Ext.P5 shall be passed, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 2 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
