Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.E.MARUTHI RAJA Counsel for the Respondent: GP FOR TRANSPORT The Court at the admission stage made the following O R D E R: By an order dated 26.04.2004, the State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Hyderabad, in A.P.No.482 of 2003 allowed the appeal setting aside the order passed by the respondent therein and directed the respondent to issue permit to the petitioner within four months from the date of receipt of a copy of the order on production of valid records and documents as required under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and APMV Rules, 1989. Now, the learned counsel for the petitioner contended that due to non- availability of vehicles and due to lack of funds, the petitioner could not purchase a new vehicle within that time and produce the valid records of a vehicle in order to obtain permit from the respondent. It is further contended that this Court in similar circumstances in W.P.No.23274 of 2002 dated 21.11.2002 granted six weeks time to the petitioner therein on the ground that no third party rights have accrued on production of the records. Therefore, the facts on hand are also similar to that of the writ petition disposed of by this Court. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of granting two months time from today to submit valid records to the respondent. On submission of the records within the said time, the respondent shall take appropriate steps to issue Pucca Stage Carriage permit. If the petitioner fails to submit the valid records and documents within the said period, he is not entitled for Pucca Stage Carriage permit.
