TO JUDGE vps P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. --------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 626 OF 2011 -------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of October, 2011 J U D G M E N T This writ petition is filed challenging the shifting of the bus stop at Karingachira to the western side of Karingachira junction. The main contention raised by the petitioners is that the bus stop was shifted before a decision in that regard was taken by the Regional Transport Authority. 2. When the writ petition came up for hearing today, Smt.Anitha Ravindran, the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents submitted that the Regional Transport Authority, Ernakulam that met on 29.9.2011 has approved the shifting of the bus stop from eastern side of Karingachira junction to the western side of Karingachira junction and therefore the issue raised by the petitioners does not require to be adjudicated in view of the subsequent decision of the Regional Transport Authority, Ernakulam. I therefore find no reason to grant the relief prayed for in the writ petition. The remedy of the petitioners is in my opinion to challenge the decision of the Regional Transport Authority in other appropriate proceedings. Without prejudice to that right, this writ petition is dismissed. P.N.RAVINDRAN, (JUDGE) vps
