GP SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).30843/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 5th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner is aggrieved by the delay incurred on the part of the respondent in taking further steps pursuant to Ext.P1. Petitioner’s husband late Mr.O.G.Varghese was a stage carriage permit holder operating on the route Kottarakkara-Kundara Hospital Junction. Transfer of the permit was allowed by the RTA. But later it was rejected and the petitioner was permitted to file an application for a fresh permit. Pursuant to the judgment of the STAT, RTA vide Ext.P1 proceedings, granted a regular permit. Apparently, RTA has not finalized the same and hence the writ petition. 2. I heard learned Government Pleader also. 3. In circumstances where Ext.P1 order has been passed on 28.7.2008, there is no reason why the actual issuance of the permit should be further delayed. W.P.(C).30843/2008 2 Accordingly, steps shall be taken in this regard by the respondent for the issuance of permit in terms of Ext.P1 without further delay, at any rate, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
