SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO: 20285 OF 2010 I ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 5th August, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner is a stage carriage operator conducting services on the route Bepore-Kuthukallu-Puthiyappa on the strength of a permit issued to stage carriage vehicle bearing registration No: KL 11/AB 7171. The petitioner is conducting services on the basis of timings settled in the year 2008. According to the petitioner, the operation of his services in accordance with his present timings causes a lot of difficulties to both himself as well as the travelling public. The petitioner is not able to reach the various stops on the route as per the present time schedule. The traffic blocks that frequently occur on the route also create a lot of problems for the petitioner. Therefore, he has submitted an application for the revision of his timings in a suitable manner. The petitioner complains that no orders have been passed on his request for the revision of his timings so far. Notice has been served on the respondents. I have heard the learned senior Govt. Pleader who has no serious objections to the matter being expedited. 2. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the request of the petitioner WPC 20285/2010 2 evidenced herein by Ext.P1 and to pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
