JUDGMENT The petitioner is the owner of a stage carriage vehicle bearing registration No: KL-9 H 6820 conducting services on the route Muriyankannikadavu-Perinthalmanna. Subsequent to the settlement of timings of the petitioner a number of new services have been introduced on the route, leading to frequent clashes with the timings of his service. One of the services with which the petitioner was having clashes is KL-10 N 6836. The petitioner submitted a request for averting the clashes by suitable modifications in the timings of the said service. The petitioner has filed this writ petition complaining of the non-consideration of his request. 2. The learned senior Govt. Pleader on instructions submits that though Ext.P3 has been issued to the petitioner directing him to appear in person, the petitioner has not done so. It is submitted that if the petitioner would appear in person the entire issue could be settled by effecting necessary modifications. According to the counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner had in fact appeared before the authority but, no action was taken in the matter. WPC 13561/2010 2 3. Since the respondent is even now ready to consider the matter if the petitioner would appear before the said authority I think that the petitioner can be directed to appear on a convenient date so as to resolve the issue. 4. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioner to appear before the respondent on 29/6/2010 at 11 a.m whereupon, the respondent shall ascertain the nature of the objections put forward by the petitioner and thereafter resolve the entire issue, after hearing all interested parties including the operator of the other stage carriage. A decision as indicated above shall be taken 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. K.
