It seems that the basic permit had expired and before the expiry, he had submitted an application for renewal of the same which is pending consideration. In the meanwhile, petitioner submitted an application for temporary permit which was originally granted and thereafter, by Ext.P2 application, he has sought for renewal of the same which has not been considered. I take note of Ext.P1 by which Secretary, RTA, has directed that temporary permit should be issued, till the application for renewal of regular permit was considered and disposed of inter alia in respect of the stage carriage belonging to the petitioner. In the circumstances, respondent is directed to pass orders on Ext.P2 application within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment in the light of W.P.(C).32691/2008 2 Ext.P1 decision taken by the RTA. Writ petition is disposed of as above. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
