SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO. 16916 OF 2010 ....................................................... DATED THIS THE 2nd DAY OF JUNE, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is conducting services on the route Kanichukulangara - Eramalloor on the strength of temporary permits issued to him in the vacancy of another Stage Carriage vehicle KL-4 B 7353. The regular permit in respect of the said vehicle has expired and the permit holder has applied for renewal of the permit. Pending consideration of his application, the vehicle that was operated by the permit holder has completed 15 years of age and therefore he is not in a position to continue the service. The petitioner was in these circumstances, issued with a temporary permit to conduct service with his vehicle bearing registration No.KL-17/E 8789. The permit of the petitioner is valid till 6.6.2010. Though the petitioner has submitted Ext.P4 request for the re issue of his permit, he complains that no orders have been passed thereon, till date. He therefore prays for the issue of appropriate directions for the re issue of his temporary permit on an early date. Learned Senior Government Pleader has no objection Wpc 16916/2010 2 to the matter being expedited. 2. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the application of the petitioner for the re issue of his temporary permit, evidenced herein by Ext.P4, in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
