The petitioner has preferred this writ petition for issue a writ order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondent no. 2 to issue Stage Carriage Permit to the petitioner for Dehradun-Doiwala forthwith. This Court in Writ Petition (M/S) No. 235 of 2006 Jasbeer Singh Vs. State Transport Appellate Authority and two others, vide order dated 10-3-2006 directed the respondent no.2 Regional Transport Authority Dehradun to the effect that “the concerned authority-respondent no. 2 shall also consider the application of the petitioner according to Rules, if the petitioner is entitled for permit on the concerned route.” The grievance of the petitioner is that the authority concerned-respondent no.2 is not taking any steps to decide the application of the petitioner and is lingering on the matter. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the Regional Transport Authority-respondent no.2 is directed to decide the application of the petitioner expeditiously as far as possibly without any further delay, if the decision had not yet been taken. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of finally. All applications stand disposed of. (B.S. Verma, J.) RCP
