Application was rejected by the RTA on the ground that the route overlaps the notified route Ernakulam- Thekkady. 2. On the appeal filed before the STAT, the Tribunal found that the overlapping cannot be treated as an objectionable overlapping and can only be treated as an intersection of the notified route. The appeal was therefore allowed and the transport authority was directed to grant regular permit subject to settlement of timings as per Exhibit P1 judgment. 3.
