His timings were settled long back. Subsequent to the settlement of his timings, a number of new services have been introduced by the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) with identical timings as the petitioner's service. Many other private Stage Carriages have also started services on the route as a result of which, the petitioner is not able to conduct his service in a smooth and efficient manner. According to the petitioner, the timings of trains are also conflicting with his services causing difficulties. The petitioner has therefore submitted Ext.P1 request for a suitable revision of his timings. He complains that no orders have been passed thereon, till date. The learned Senior Government Pleader has no objection to the issue of a direction to expedite matter. Wpc 17219/2010 2 2.
