SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO:36627 OF 2009 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 30th March, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner had submitted an application for issue of the regular permit. The matter was considered and his application was rejected. The petitioner challenged the rejection of his application before the State Transport Appellate Tribunal. The STAT set aside the order of rejection and directed the authority to consider the matter afresh. The petitioner has thereafter submitted Ext.P3 representation bringing to the notice of the first respondent the direction of the STAT. However, he complains that no action has been taken on his application till date. 2. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the application for the issue of a regular permit submitted by the petitioner in the light of the directions of the STAT in Ext.P2 judgment as well as the relevant provisions of law and to pass appropriate orders thereon 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.
