While operating on the strength of a regular permit, the petitioner applied for the variation of his permit. The Regional Transport Authority, Malappuram granted the variation subject to settlement of timings, as per Ext.P1 proceedings. Though the petitioner had produced his current records for verification on 15.3.2010, the respondent has not taken any steps to issue the permit to him till date. 2. According to the petitioner, the delay in the issue of his permit is causing serious prejudice to him. He apprehends that consequent to the delay, the timings suggested by the petitioner would be allotted to other operators. Therefore, he seeks appropriate directions for the settlement of his timings on an early date. The wpc No.12736/2010 2 learned Senior Government Pleader has no objection to such a direction being issued. 3. In the above circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondent to settle the timings of the petitioner and to issue the permit that has been granted to him by Ext.P1 proceedings, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
