The regular permit was valid till 11/4/2010. He has submitted Ext.P2 application for renewal of the permit. The same is still pending. He has therefore submitted Ext.P4 application for the issue of a temporary permit so as to maintain services on the route, under Section 87(1(d) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. He complains that no orders have been passed thereon till date. The learned Govt. Pleader has no objection to the matter being expedited.
