JUSTICE C.T.RAVIKUMAR WEDNESDAY, THE 15TH DECEMBER 2010 / 24TH AGRAHAYANA 1932 WP(C).No. 36855 of 2010(F) ----------------------------------------- PETITIONER(S): ------------------------ A.M.ASHRAF, MUBARAK MANZIL, VANDIPERIYAR P.O., IDUKKI. BY ADV. SRI.P.DEEPAK RESPONDENT(S): ---------------------------- THE REGIONAL TRANSPORT AUTHORITY, IDUKKI, REPRESENTED BY ITS SECRETARY, IDUKKI - 685 603. BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI. BASANT BALAJI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/12/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.36855 of 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated 15th December, 2010 JUDGMENT The grievance of the petitioner is that Ext.P1 application submitted by him for the grant of regular permit is being adjourned indefinitely. Ext.P2 would reveal that Ext.P1 application was taken up for consideration and thereafter it was adjourned. Thus it is obvious that Ext.P1 application submitted by the petitioner is pending consideration before the respondent. Since Ext.P1 is an application submitted in terms of section 80 of the Motor Vehicles Act for the grant of a regular permit, the respondent who is competent to consider the said request is duty bound to consider Ext.P1 application and to pass orders thereon in accordance with law. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to consider Ext.P1 application and pass orders thereon in accordance with law expeditiously, at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
