K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.7161 of 2010 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 5th day of March, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is the holder of a regular permit over the route Kumaly-Ernakulam. Service is being operated as a Limited Stop Ordinary Service. The petitioner submitted an application for the renewal of his permit for a further period of 5 years. Though the application was taken up for consideration at the meeting of the respondent held on 29.1.2010, the matter was adjourned indefinitely for the reason that the length of the petitioner's route is 177 kms. Consequently, the petitioner cannot be granted a renewal of his permit as a Limited Stop Ordinary Service. Therefore, as per Ext.P1, she has been directed to modify her application according to the rules. Immediately on receipt of Ext.P1, the petitioner has addressed a communication to the respondent expressing her willingness to operate the services as a Super Fast service. Ext.P2 request for renewal of her regular permit as a Super Fast service has also been submitted by the wpc No.7161/2010 2 petitioner. The petitioner complains that no orders have been passed on her request so far. 2. The Government Pleader assures that the request of the petitioner would be considered without further delay. 3. In the above circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the application of the petitioner for the renewal of her regular permit evidenced herein by Ext.P2 in accordance with law, 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.
