RAMAN, J. ============= W.P.(C) NO. 33819 OF 2006 =================== DATED THIS, THE 5TH DAY OF JANUARY, 2007 J U D G M E N T Ext. P1 is an application for regular permit submitted by the petitioner as early as on 2.12.2006. Pending consideration of the same, he preferred Ext.P3 application for a temporary permit. His grievance is that no orders are passed either on Ext.P1 or Ext.P2. 2. Learned Government Pleader, submits that the first respondent has already received Exts.P1 and P3. However, since the permit sought for is a new route, the competent authority is the second respondent and not the Secretary. 3. In the factual situation, there will be a direction to the second respondent to consider Ext.P3 application for temporary permit, if the regular permit sought for as per Ext.P1 could not be granted, expeditiously, in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of as above. P.R. RAMAN, JUDGE. knc/-
