RAVIKUMAR, J - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C) 37218 OF 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 23rd day of December, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner has purchased one Ashok Leyland Passenger Chassis bearing Engine No. LAE 134390Z chassis No.MB1PCEHC1AELD9490 for operating as a stage carriage. After the body building the petitioner has produced the vehicle for registration. It is on being aggrieved by the delay in the matter of consideration of the application for registration of the vehicle as stage carriage that this writ petition has been filed. The learned Government Pleader brought to my notice that as per Ext.P3 itself certain defects were noted by the respondent. However, it is evident that no final orders have been passed on the application for registration. When an application for registration is received by the respondent, the respondent is bound to take a decision on the said application. In this case, according to the petitioner it is neither rejected nor allowed. In view of the said factual position obtained in this case, I am of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of with a direction to the respondent to consider the application for registration of the vehicle for which temporary WPC No.37218/2010 2 permit is granted and the details which are given in Ext.P3 expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
