EXT.P2: COPY OF THE COVERING LETTER DTD. 9/11/07. /TRUE COPY/ P.S.TO JUDGE Kss ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C) 34312 of 2007 ------------------------------------- Dated: January 23, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner submits that he was granted a regular permit as per Ext.P1. Ext.P1 mentions the vehicle number as KL-6/D 8254. It is stated that subsequently along with Ext.P2 the petitioner produced the current records with respect to the vehicle KL-6/D 5026. According to the petitioner, since the current records were produced in relation to a vehicle other than the one mentioned in Ext.P1, the permit granted by Ext.P1 is not issued. 2. It is settled law that it is not necessary that the current records produced should be in relation to the same vehicle that was offered at the time when the application was made. If that be so, the refusal of the respondent to issue permit for the reason that the vehicle was changed cannot be accepted. 3. In view of this, if refusal to issue permit was for the aforesaid reason, the respondent shall issue the permit granted as WP(C) 34312/2007 Page numbers per Ext.P1 to the vehicle KL-6/D 5026. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/-
