No.12673 of 2009-D ------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of April, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a stage carriage operator with vehicle No.KL-3/J 7475 and a temporary permit was granted in favour of him for the period 02.01.09 to 01.05.09. Ext.P1 is the temporary permit so granted. He had also preferred Ext.P2 application for regular permit. By filing Ext.P4 application, he sought reissue of temporary permit. But the grievance f the petitioner is that no action is taken on the above request and hence he approached this Court by preferring this Writ Petition. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader . Having regard to the facts and circumstances involved in this case, I am of the view that this Writ Petition can be disposed of directing the respondents to consider the request pending before them. 3. In the result, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to take up Ext.P1 application for temporary permit and to dispose of the same on merits within a period of 10 W.P(C). No.12673 of 2009-D 2 days of production of a copy of this judgment. Similarly the 1st respondent is also directed to consider Ext.P2 application for regular permit and to dispose the same in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible. This Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. (V.K.MOHANAN, JUDGE) rtr/-
