BY GP K C SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO.6198 OF 2010 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 10TH DAY OF MARCH, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a Stage Carriage operator conducting service on the route Palakkad - Sulthan Bathery under a regular permit. The vehicle that is used by the petitioner is a 2002 model one with 48 seats. Since the vehicle was old, the petitioner has submitted an application for the replacement of his old vehicle with a 2009 model vehicle bearing No.KL-09/Y 1144. The complaint of the petitioner is that no orders have been passed on his application for replacement, till date. 2. The Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that the number of the vehicle with which the petitioner is seeking replacement of his old vehicle is shown in his application wrongly. However, the counsel for the petitioner submits that the correct number of the vehicle would be clear from the records of the vehicle that is offered by him for replacement. Therefore, he prays for a direction to dispose of his application on an early date. 3. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of Wpc 6198/2010 2 directing the respondent to consider the application for replacement of his vehicle submitted by the petitioner in accordance with law, and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
