Counsel for the Petitioner: SMT.M.VINOBHA DEVI Counsel for the Respondents: Mr.V.V.P.Rao The Court Made the Following : ORDER: Petitioner’s application for renewal of license was rejected by the Regional Transport Authority. Aggrieved by the same, petitioner carried the matter in appeal before the first respondent, who by an Order dated 03-08-1999 dismissed the same. Hence, the present writ petition. Learned Counsel for the petitioner contends that in view of Full Bench Judgment of this Court in DIVISIONAL MANAGER, A.P.S.R.T.C, VIZAIANAGARAM v. STATE TRANSPORT APPELLATE TRIBUNAL, HYDERABAD[1], the scheme approved in mofussil route will not be applicable to town service route. In view of the same, respondents went wrong in rejecting the renewal. As there is no finding with regard to the route notified under G.O.Ms.No.284 dated 7-8-1985 that it is a mofussil route or town service route, the impugned order cannot be sustainable and it is accordingly set aside and the matter is remanded to the State Transport Appellate Tribunal to consider in the light of the order passed by the Full Bench in DIVISIONAL MANAGER, A.P.S.R.T.C, VIZAIANAGARAM v. STATE TRANSPORT APPELLATE TRIBUNAL, HYDERABAD (1 supra), Status quo with regard to running of the vehicle will be maintained till the disposal of the appeal. The Writ petition is accordingly allowed. _________ 05-07-2004 vs To 1. The secretary ,State Transport Appellate Tribunal, A.P.Hyderabad, City Civil Court Buildings, Hyderabad. 2.
