WP(C).NO.20007 OF 2010 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 28TH DAY OF JUNE, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is the Secretary of a Bus Passengers Association. According to the petitioner, the Government of Kerala has decided to establish Sub Regional Transport Offices in all Taluk Headquarters in the State of Kerala and Regional Transport Offices in all Districts. It is submitted that all District Headquarters are having Regional Transport Offices. Accordingly, the State has made an announcement that Sub Regional Transport Offices would be established at five places out of which, Ranni, Kunnathur and Tirurangadi Taluks do not have Sub Regional Taluk Offices. However, two other places, Angamaly and Chalakkudy mentioned therein are having Sub Regional Offices not only at Taluk Headquarters, but also at other places. The petitioner contends that the Government is bound to establish Sub Regional Taluk Offices in the Taluks of Chittur, Kuttanad, Kozhencherry and Nilambur, which would be left without any Sub Regional Transport Offices. Therefore, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P2 representation Wpc 20007/2010 2 to the first respondent, detailing their grievances. However, it is complained that no orders have been passed thereon till date. The learned Senior Government Pleader assures that Ext.P2 would be considered and appropriate orders passed, without delay. 2. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the grievances of the petitioner, set out in Ext.P2 representation, in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, expeditiously.
