BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/12/2008,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Rs/ V. GIRI, J. ------------------------------- WP(C).NO. 36428 of 2008 --------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of December, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner applied for grant of regular permit on the route Veettikkad-Perinthalmanna. He had then offered a vehicle stage carriage KL-10 R 5799. The application though initially rejected was directed to be granted by the Appellate Tribunal and thereafter after obtaining the concurrence from the RTA, Malappuram, permit was directed to be issued as per Ext.P2. The timings were directed to be settled as per Ext.P3 judgment. In the meanwhile, another vehicle was offered and current records were also produced. According to the petitioner, thereupon the respondent took the stand that the permit will be issued only in relation to the vehicle which was offered at the time of Ext.P2 and not in relation to another vehicle. This stand as rightly pointed out by the learned counsel for the petitioner has not been countenanced by this court as evidenced by Ext.P4 judgment. Reference was made to earlier judgments wherein a similar issue was considered elaborately. WPC. 36428/2008 2 In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to issue regular permit, on the route Veettikkad- Perinthalmanna granted as per Ext.P2 in respect of stage carriage KL-10 N 7711, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
