SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO: 9646 OF 2010 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd March, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner is a stage carriage operator conducting services on the basis of a regular permit on the route Koothattukulam- Kottayam with stage carriage vehicle bearing registration No: KL-35 5786. His timings were settled in the year 2006. Though the petitioner had preferred a request for revision of his timings, the same was not considered. Therefore, the petitioner approached this Court by filing WPC 22781/2009. As per judgment dated 11/8/2009 this Court directed the respondent to consider the maintainability of the petition and to issue orders thereon within a period of two months. According to the petitioner, pursuant to the judgment of this Court the RTA called for a report from the Motor Vehicles Inspector who submitted a report on 23/12/2009 proposing various timings for the purpose of revision. Thereafter on 16.2.2010 the Secretary, RTA, Kottayam issued a notification inviting objections to the timings suggested by the Motor Vehicles Inspector. According to the petitioner no objections have been received. No orders have also been passed on the petitioner's application thereafter. Therefore, the petitioner seeks appropriate WPC 9646/2010 2 directions for finalisation of the proceedings. The learned senior Government Pleader points out that Ext.P4 proceedings have been issued on 16/2/2010 and therefore, there is absolutely no delay in proceeding with the matter. He assures that the proceedings would be finalised within a short time. 2. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of recording the above submission and directing the respondent to finalise the proceedings pursuant to Ext.P4, 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.
