BY GP SMT.SUDHA DEVI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/10/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).29872/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 28th day of October, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner claims to be the registered owner of a bus bearing No.KL.12.A.4500 operating on the route Meppadi-Vaduvanchal-Kalpetta-Kalpetta Civil Station and the same is subject to a Hire Purchase agreement with the second respondent. According to him, he is entitled to the cancellation of the Hire purchase endorsement made in the R.C.Book. The request made by the petitioner in this regard has not been responded to. Hence the writ petition. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr.Gracious Kuriakose refers to Ext.P4 judgment, essentially paragraph 2 of the same, which reads as follows:- I heard the learned Government Pleader for the 1st respondent and the learned counsel appearing for the 2nd respondent. The learned counsel for the said respondent submitted that he has no W.P.(C).29872/2008 2 instruction in the matter. In view of the above position, it must be assumed that the petitioner has cleared the amounts due to the 2nd respondent. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider the application of the petitioner for renewal of his permit without waiting for NOC from the 2nd respondent and dispose of the same in accordance with law, in its next meeting or at any rate, within two months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. 3. Having heard learned Government Pleader also, I am of the view that an expeditious action must be taken on Ext.P6 representation by the first respondent. 4. In the result, writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the request contained in Ext.P6 and do the needful without further delay, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Notice must be issued W.P.(C).29872/2008 3 to the second respondent also, before a decision is taken on Ext.P6. Copy of the writ petition shall be produced by the petitioner along with the copy of the judgment, before the first respondent. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
