According to the petitioner, it is an inter district route, and the temporary permit issued in that behalf in favour of the second respondent is illegal. Petitioner has brought this to the notice of the RTA by Ext.P7. The temporary permit currently in operation, expires on 28.12.2008. In the result, writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the petitioner's objections before a decision is taken on any application, if any, filed by the second respondent for re-issuance of Ext.P8 temporary permit beyond the period from 28.12.2008. Notice of Ext.P7 shall be given to the second respondent also, before a decision is taken as aforementioned. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
