WP(C).NO.4443 OF 2010 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 25TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner had applied for the grant of a regular permit to conduct services on the route Vathakkad-Perumbavoor with Stage Carriage vehicle No.KL-6/C 325. He sought for permission to operate in the vacant timing that had earlier been alloted to another Stage Carriage vehicle bearing No.KL-17/967. However, his request was rejected by the first respondent. The petitioner challenged the rejection of his application before the State Transport Appellate Tribunal (STAT). The STAT set aside the order of the first respondent and has remanded the matter to the said authority for fresh consideration in accordance with law. The complaint of the petitioner is that the order of the STAT has not been implemented till date. Therefore, the petitioner seeks appropriate orders for implementation of the said order. 2. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the application for the grant of regular permit submitted by the petitioner, in accordance with the Wpc 4443/2010 2 directions of the STAT, 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.
