JUDGMENT The main prayer in the writ petition is for a direction to respondents 1 and 2 to consider and dispose of Exts.P4 and P7 representations expeditiously. 2. The petitioner is an existing operator on the routes Nedumpua- Pattambi and Chelakkara-Pattambi by stage carriage KL-8/AG.4127 and KL-8/AH.1673. The third respondent is the transferee of a regular permit in respect of KEH 555 from the previous permit holder to operate on the route Trichur-Pattambi and the previous permit holder replaced the said vehicle by KL-9/8686. The allegation in the writ petition is that after getting the permit transferred in favour of the third respondent, he is not operating the service as per the existing conditions and he is not adhering to the time schedule allotted as per Ext.P1. Pointing out these, the petitioner filed Exts.P4 and P7 representations to take action. 3. The writ petition was filed on 19.12.2007. Evidently, the third respondent was operating on the basis of the temporary permit. Going by the instructions given to the learned Govt. Pleader, the objection raised by wpc 247/2008 2 the petitioner along with the application for renewal submitted by the third respondent, have been placed before the Regional Transport Authority, Palakkad and a decision was awaited. Therefore, by efflux of time, this writ petition has become infructuous and it is accordingly closed. If the petitioner has got any other grievance, he will be free to approach the appropriate authority. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
