P.M. Khader was holding two regular permits on the route Aluva - Fortkochi and Cheranelloor - Kattiparambu - Mattancherry in respect of two stage carriages bearing registration Nos.KL-07/BL 5730 and KL-07/BF 9214. Upon his death, the petitioner has produced the entire documents and applied before the respondent for transfer of Exts.P1 and P2 permits in his favour as per Ext.P7 application. The petitioner has also submitted Exts.P3 to P6 documents. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the receipt of the said application no decision was taken thereon and in fact, the respondent is insisting for production of legal heirship certificate/succession certificate. The contention of the petitioner is that the respondent cannot insist for production of legal succession certificate in the light of the decision reported in Bhagyalakshmy v. R.T.A Palakkad (2010(2)KLT431). In the light of the said decision, I am of the view that this writ petition can be WPC.No.32388/2010 : 2 : disposed of as hereunder: The respondent shall consider Ext.P7 application for transfer of Exts.P1 and P2 permits in favour of the petitioner in respect of the stage carriages bearing Nos. KL-07/BL 5730 and KL-07/BF 9214 based on Ext.P7 application in the light of the decision reported in 2010(2) KLT 431. This shall be done within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Sd/- (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) jma //true copy// P.A to Judge
