TO JUDGE ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 15593 OF 2008 F ==================== Dated this the 2nd day of July, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that he sought variation of permit by way of extension. That request of the petitioner was considered by the 1st respondent and by Ext.P1 proceedings of 17/11/2007, variation was granted without curtailment, but however without specifying as to whether the curtailment is in respect of the route or trip. 2. It is submitted by the petitioner that in pursuance to Ext.P1, the matter was taken up in the timing conference. In view of the above ambiguity in Ext.P1, the Secretary-2nd respondent wanted to obtain clarification from the 1st respondent. As the matter was remaining without a final decision, petitioner has filed Ext.P3 request before the 2nd respondent requesting for an early finality to Ext.P1. It is in this circumstances, writ petition is filed praying for a direction to the 2nd respondent to expedite the matter by considering Ext.P3. 3. Having regard to the facts as stated above, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the 2nd respondent shall take note of Ext.P3, and consider the same and pass appropriate orders thereon. This shall be WPC 15593/08 :2 : done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the respondents for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
