This is an appeal preferred by the 1st respondent in W.P.(C) No.14739 of 2011, aggrieved by an order in I.A. No.11486 of 2011 dated 19.07.2011. 2. By the order under appeal, a learned Judge of this Court vacated an interim order granted earlier on 01.06.2011 in the writ petition. The dispute in the writ petition is regarding the grant of a permit under the Motor Vehicles Act by the judgment passed by the State Transport Appellate Tribunal which is marked as Ext.P11 in the writ petition. The Tribunal directed the grant of a permit in favour of the 3rd respondent herein. Aggrieved by the same, the abovementioned writ petition came to be filed. 3. It appears that the appellant was operating on the route in issue from the year 2003 and by virtue of the interim orders the appellant continued to operate on the route even as on today. W.A. No.1156 of 2011 -:2:- 4. In the circumstances, we deem it appropriate to dispose of the appeal directing the Registry to list the writ petition itself for hearing before the appropriate Bench on 17.08.2011. The status quo obtaining as on today shall continue till then. The Writ Appeal is disposed of as above. J.Chelameswar, Chief Justice. P.R.Ramachandra Menon, Judge. ttb
