Though the RTA rejected the application, STAT allowed the same vide Ext.P1. Petitioner's grievance is that though the conversion is allowed by the STAT as per Ext.P2 dated 20.6.2008, orders are yet to be passed by the RTA. 2. I find substance in the contention of the petitioner. There is no justification for the delay in the implementation of Ext.P1. 3. In the result, having heard learned Government Pleader also, writ petition is disposed of directing the W.P.(C).33402/2008 2 first respondent to pass consequential orders to Ext.P1 within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
