PLEADER SHRI.K.S.MUHAMMED HASHIM THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/10/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P(C).No.27371 of 2009 ================== Dated this the 28th day of October, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a stage carriage operator on the route Kizhakkambalam-Kottayam. The petitioner filed an application for variation of the permit in respect of his service, which is Ext.P1. The petitioner 's grievance in this writ petition is that the same is not being considered by the 1st respondent. The learned Government Pleader submits that a number of applications are pending before the RTA and the RTA is finding it difficult to dispose of those applications in a time bound manner. Therefore, the Government Pleader submits that the RTA would require at least two months to consider the petitioner's application. After hearing both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent-RTA to consider and pass orders on Ext.P1 application submitted by the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
