P1 he was directed to replace the same with a later model medium motor vehicle stage carriage. Ext. P1 is issued by the 2nd respondent. The matter was considered by the 1st respondent in Ext. P2 and finally the issue was deferred. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the issue of replacement was the subject matter of several writ petitions and finally a Division Bench of this Court, directed that the Government shall consider the matter as a general issue and take a decision in the matter. It is submitted that the issue is still pending consideration of the Government and as directed by the Division Bench permits are being renewed subject to the order to be passed W.P.(C) No. 25942 OF 2008 -2- by the Government. 4. It is true that as contended by the counsel for the petitioner, the issue is still pending consideration of the Government and in various cases judgments have been rendered by this Court directing renewal of the permits subject to the conditions to be imposed by the Government if and when order is passed as directed by the Division Bench. 5. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing that the permit of the petitioner shall be renewed, provided the application is otherwise in order. It is clarified that once the Government renders a decision pursuant to the Division Bench judgment further operation of the vehicle belonging to the petitioner will be subject to the conditions to be imposed by the Government.
