EXT.P1 - A TRUE COPY OF REQUEST DT. 15.2.06. /TRUE COPY/ K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, J. ----------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.28469 OF 2006-L ----------------------------------------- JUDGMENT The petitioner has approached this Court, feeling aggrieved by the running time allotted to his stage carriage KL-8/G 2163, operating on the route Guruvayur – Ernakulam as L.S.O.S. As per the time schedule granted to him, the running time is 2 minutes per kilometre. The petitioner submits, for most of the other similarly placed services the running time is 1.5 minutes per kilometre. So, claiming reduction of the running time of his vehicle, he has preferred Ext.P1 representation before the Regional Transport Officer, Thrissur. Thereafter, this writ petition is filed, seeking appropriate reliefs. 2. The learned Government Pleader, upon instructions, submitted that the Joint R.T.O., Kodungallur has been asked to look into that petition. If Ext.P1 application has not, so far, been dealt with in accordance with law, the same may be done within two months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. This may not be taken as a direction to reduce the running time of the petitioner's WPC 28469/06 2 vehicle. The Secretary, R.T.A may take action on Ext.P1 in accordance with law within the above said time limit, if it is pending without any orders on it. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. 26th September, 2008. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. Nm/
