THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/10/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: prv. C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO.30128 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of October, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a stage carriage operator on the route Poothotta -Kaloor operating with stage carriage bearing registration No.KL-17/A 6888. The regular permit in respect of the said vehicle is valid up to 30.7.2011. The petitioner has submitted Ext.P2 application which carried a prayer to keep the permit already granted, in suspension and to issue necessary clearance certificate in respect of the aforesaid vehicle to enable him to dispose of the vehicle without insisting on surrender/cancellation of the regular permit. Admittedly, the respondent has received Ext.P2 application. However, no action was taken thereon so far. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that this Court had an occasion to consider similar matter, as is obvious from Ext.P3 judgment. In the said Writ Petition, the application submitted by the concerned petitioner carrying a similar request was directed to be disposed of. Taking into account the said circumstances, I am also of the view that the respondent is competent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 application submitted by W.P.(C) NO.30128/2010 2 the petitioner. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 application, in accordance with law, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
