He has submitted Ext.P1 application for the issue of a regular permit. However, the 1st respondent considered the application and adjourned the same finding that the petitioner had failed to produce any evidence to prove that the vehicle is under his possession. Thereafter, the absolute possession and ownership of the vehicle was transferred to the petitioner and transfer of ownership has been effected by endorsements in the certificate of registration of the vehicle on 30.12.2009. The endorsements are evidenced by Ext.P4. Therefore, it is contended that there is absolutely no objection to the consideration of Ext.P1 application for regular permit. 2. The petitioner has also submitted Ext.P6 application for issue of a temporary permit which is dated 7.1.2010 in respect of the very same vehicle. The W.P (C) No.2355 of 2010 2 petitioner prays for appropriate direction to consider and pass orders on Exts.P1 and P6. 3. The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that Exts.P1 and P6 are pending and they would be considered and appropriate orders passed within a short while. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P1 application for regular permit submitted by the petitioner, in accordance with law, and pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. There shall be a further direction to the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P6 application of the petitioner for the issue of a temporary permit and issue the same within a period of one week from today.
