JUDGMENT The petitioner has approached this court apprehending that permit may be granted to the 3rd respondent on the route Thiruthiyad- Feroke, without settling the time schedule and that too by Circular. 2. The petitioner has no locus standi to challenge the grant of permit to the third respondent. Of course, if he is aggrieved by the time schedule granted to that service, the petitioner's remedy is under the Act. It is all the more so if the time schedule is issued without notice to the affected operators and settling it. In the result, the writ petition fails, and it is dismissed without prejudice to the rights of the petitioner to work out his remedy if any permit is granted to the third respondent with a time schedule which is detrimental to his service on the route Edavannapara-Kozhikode via Feroke.
