SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO: 2867 OF 2010 G ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th January, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner is the holder of a regular stage carriage permit on the route Ottupara Bus Stand-Kechery via Wadakkanchery, Kumblangad, Vyasa College, Parlikkad, Kuranchery Velur and Thalakottukara with respect to vehicle No: KL-5/K 4975. The petitioner has applied for variation of his route. The case of the petitioner is that there was a hue and cry from the public against extending the route from Kecheri to Paavaratty via Parappuram and that was the reason why the petitioner had sought for variation of his route. The Regional Transport Authority at its meeting held on 25.9.2009 considered the variation application and adjourned the matter for verifying whether there is curtailment of trips affecting the travelling public or not. Thereafter, the matter has not been considered again. The petitioner has therefore filed another application praying for consideration of his application for variation without reducing the number of trips. The petitioner prays for a direction for the disposal of his application, evidenced herein by Ext.P1, on an early date. WPC 2867/2010 2 2. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider Ext.P1 application of the petitioner for variation of his permit and to pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
