THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.7893 OF 2008 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 30th day of March, 2010 JUDGMENT The matter remains defective. No notice is taken on the respondents. This writ petition is filed in 2008 seeking interference of the direction of the STAT, essentially directing consideration of the application of the third respondent herein for conversion of service by the primary authority in view of the fact that one of the sister authorities had rejected prior concurrence for the renewal of the existing permit on the ground that it exceeds 140 k.m. and it overlaps the notified route. I do not find any jurisdictional error or legal infirmity in the impugned order. The writ petition fails. The same is accordingly dismissed. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge. kkb.31/03.
