BY GP K S MUHAMED HASHIM THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 1/3/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO.6546 OF 2010 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 1ST DAY OF MARCH, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a Stage Carriage operator conducting service on the route Erattupetta-Pala(via)Panakapalam, Plassanal, Valiyakavumpuram, Ullanad with vehicle No.KL-5/Q 577. According to the petitioner, a fresh permit has been granted to the second respondent in respect of his Stage Carriage vehicle bearing registration No.KL-5 F/9826. The permit has been granted to the first respondent subject to settlement of his timings. The petitioner has filed detailed objections before the first respondent against the grant of fresh permits. The petitioner apprehends that the timings of the second respondent would be settled without taking into consideration the objections submitted by her. The petitioner therefore seeks appropriate directions for consideration of her objections also. The Government Pleader assures me that the objections of the petitioner as well as all other persons likely to be affected would be given opportunity to object to the grant at the time of settlement of timings. He has no objection to Wpc 6546/2010 2 directions being issued for a consideration of the objections of the petitioner. 2. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the objections of the petitioner and the objections of any other person who may object to the permit granted to the second respondent and to finalise the timings of the second respondent only after considering all the objections including those of the petitioner also.
