TO JUDGE tss V.GIRI, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C).No.26395 of 2008 ------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of October, 2008. JUDGMENT The petitioner is the owner of a stage carriage which was operating on the route Kattappana-Ernakulam. Since the licence expired on 4.8.2008, the petitioner submitted an application for renewal of the licence. It seems that the registering authority is requiring the petitioner to produce the RC book of the vehicle, as evidenced by Ext.P4 and to clear the check reports. It is enough that the licence is actually issued after the petitioner produces the RC book. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to pass orders in the matter of renewal of the licence, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. But, the actual issuance of the licence need be done only after verification of the RC book and clearance of the check report, if any. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy//
