SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO: 5078 OF 2010 H ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th February, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner is a stage carriage operator conducting regular services on the route Kozhikode-Thalassery as a limited stop ordinary service. He is conducting service with stage carriage bearing registration number KL-10/Q 9982. The timings of the petitioner were fixed on 20.8.1999. According to the petitioner, after his timings were settled a number of new services have been introduced on the route. Some of the services have also surrendered their permits resulting in the existence of vacant timings. The KSRTC is also operating on the route resulting in a reduction in the time gap between the departure of various services. Consequently a variation in the timings allotted to the petitioner has become necessary, it is submitted. The complaint of the petitioner is that though he has submitted Ext.P1 application for variation of his timings no orders have been passed thereon till date. 2. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider Ext.P1 application of the petitioner for variation of his timings in accordance with law, as WPC 5078/2010 2 expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
