SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO:8583 OF 2010 W ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd March, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner is a stage carriage operator conducting services on the route Kottayam-Ernakulam with stage carriage vehicle bearing registration No: KL7/BA5107. The petitioner is conducting services on the strength of a regular permit which is valid till 4.11.2009. The petitioner has already applied for a renewal of the permit, which application is pending consideration of the authorities. In the meanwhile, the petitioner applied for issue of a temporary permit under Section 87(i)(d) of the Kerala Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The temporary permit was granted to the petitioner, which is due to expire on 24.3.2010. Though the petitioner has submitted an application for the reissue of the temporary permit, he complains that no orders have been passed thereon till date. Therefore, he seeks appropriate directions for an early disposal of his request for reissue of the temporary permit. The learned senior Government Pleader submits that appropriate orders would be passed on them without further delay. 2. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the request of the WPC 8583/2010 2 petitioner for the reissue of his temporary permit, evidenced herein by Ext.P6 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It is further submitted that though the first respondent has sought concurrence of the third respondent for the renewal of the regular permit such concurrence has not been issued so far. Therefore, there shall be a direction to the third respondent also to issue the concurrence that is sought for, expeditiously. K. SURENDRA MOHAN Judge jj WPC 8583/2010 3 K.K.DENESAN & V.
