This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner challenging order dated 18.04.2011 passed by the Chairman, State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Bihar, Patna in T.R.No.07 of 2011 by which it was held that although there were two permits in respect of two vehicles of the petitioner and hence two revision petitions should have been filed, but that has not been done and the said revision was not confined in respect of one permit, hence it was found to be not properly filed and was not maintainable and remitted the matter to the Magadh Regional Transport Authority, Gaya to maintain list of vehicles and its timing in systematic order and to consider the matter in true prospect and timing of the buses must be considered so that any subsequent permit must not be - 2 - granted ahead of the existing time table of the present or senior operator and necessary guideline without unnecessary delay must be formulated within a period of two months failing which the petitioner will have all the rights to move the tribunal as advised to him. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that much more than two months passed, but the authority did not pass any order, nor even the appellate tribunal remitted the records of the case to the authority concerned. He further submits that post of the said Appellate Tribunal is vacant and the petitioner cannot approach the said Appellate Tribunal as directed. Hence, he has no remedy, except by way of filing his writ petition. 4. Considering the entire facts and circumstances of this case, it is quite apparent that the authority is fully authorised to decide such matters considering the directions of the Appellate Authority. Hence, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the authorities of the State Appellate Tribunal, Bihar, Patna to immediately within fifteen days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order send the records to the Magadh Regional Transport Authority, whereafter the said authority shall consider the entire matter and decide the case with respect to both the vehicles of the petitioner expeditiously not beyond a period of two months from the date of receipt of the records from the Appellate Tribunal.
