SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO: 6332 OF 2010 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 1st March, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner is operating services on the route Narikkuni- Kozhikode-Koduvally with stage carriage vehicle No:KL-12/B 5279 on the basis of a regular permit. His timings were issued as early as on 6.2.2004. Thereafter, a number of new services have been introduced on the route in question as well as covering the major portions of the route. There are time slots available due to surrender of timings, which are vacant till date. The change in circumstances has necessitated a suitable variation in the timings of the petitioner. The petitioner has therefore submitted an application for the variation of his own timings which is pending before the respondents. He seeks appropriate directions for an early disposal of the same. The Govt. Pleader submits that orders would be passed on the application without delay. 2. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to consider the application for variation of his own timings submitted by the petitioner evidenced herein by Ext.P1 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders WPC 6332/2010 2 thereon as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
