SANTHOSHKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO.16113 OF 2010 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 26TH DAY OF MAY, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is the registered owner of a Stage Carriage bearing registration No.KL-8 AQ 5099, covered by a regular permit on the route Thrissur- Kozhikode- Kannur. Initially, the service was being operated as a limited stop ordinary service. But since the route length is 220 kms, it could be operated only as a super fast service. The petitioner had submitted an application for the renewal of his permit and the concurrence of sister authorities at Thrissur, Malappuram and Kannur have also been obtained. However, the application was made for renewal as a limited stop ordinary service only and the concurrence was also obtained for such service. Thereafter, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P5 request for treating his application for renewal as one for renewal as a super fast service. The petitioner submits that his application for renewal is posted for being considered at the meeting of the RTA on 28.5.2010. Unless his application is considered along with Ext.P5 request, it is submitted that his permit would not be renewed as Wpc 16113/2010 2 a super fast service. Therefore, he seeks directions to the first respondent. The learned Senior Government Pleader has no objection to such a direction being issued. 2. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the application for renewal of regular permit submitted by the petitioner on 29.9.2009 together with Ext.P5 request for treating his application as one for renewal as a super fast service, at the meeting of the first respondent scheduled for 28.5.2010, in accordance with law, and to pass appropriate orders thereon expeditiously.
