ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------- W.P.(C). NO. 21896 OF 2007 --------------------- Dated this the 14th day of September, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P1 proceedings of the RTA by which his request for concurrence for renewal as an ordinary service has been rejected on the ground that the route length exceeds 140 kilometers. By virtue of Rule 2(oa), ordinary service cannot extend more than 140 kilometers. Petitioner's contention is that in view of Ext.P2 judgment the same requires reconsideration. By Ext.P2 judgment a learned Single Judge of this court held that in such cases, the application can be considered for higher class of services. In the above circumstances, I direct that if the petitioner moves an application in that regard, the RTA shall consider whether the petitioner can be granted concurrence for renewal for a higher class of service in accordance with Ext.P2 judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE vps ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE OP NO.16383/98 JUDGMENT 5TH SEPTEMBER, 2007
