Ext.P1 application is pending in this regard. Enhancement of the running time fixed as per Circular No.3/97 issued by the State Transport Authority, was considered by a Bench of this Court in O.P.12774/97 and connected cases and it was found that a fresh look has to be taken in this behalf by the Government. Apparently that has not been done so far. In the meanwhile, petitioner has sought for a parity of running time. In the circumstances, petitioner's request shall be considered by the respondent in accordance with law and a decision taken thereon, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
