Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.R.K JWALA (Not present) Counsel for the Respondents Nos 1 and 2: GP FOR TRANSPORT Counsel for the Respondent No.3: Sri K.Srinivasa Rao The Court Made the Following : ORDER: None appeared for the petitioner. The impugned proceedings of the first respondent- Regional Transport Officer, Cuddapah in Lr.R.No.13718/A2/2001 dated 09.02.2004 is challenged in this writ petition. The grievance of the writ petitioner is that he was plying vehicle strictly on the authorized route without violating the conditions of the permit and adhering to the schedule of timings. The permit of the petitioner’s vehicle was given by the Regional Transport Authority on 11.02.2002 to ply the vehicle bearing No. ADA 6565 as Town Service on the route Pulivendula Old Bus Stand to Nallapureddipalli via Navath Lodge, RTC Bus Stand, Electrical Sub-Station, Mothunuthalapalli Cross Road. The learned counsel appearing for the respondents contended that the impugned proceedings are not issued contrary to the permits. As per the proceedings dated 11.02.2002, the Regional Transport Authority also fixed schedule of timings tentatively from Nallapureddypalli and back. The impugned proceedings shows that the Regional Transport Authority requested the police officers to keep a watch and book cases against stage carriage vehicles bearing No. AP04/U 4374 and ADA 6565 if they ply on unauthorized route i.e., beyond the entrance of Nallapureddipalli in respect of stage carriage vehicle No.AP04/U 4374 and beyond Rachababda of Nallapureddypalli in respect of stage carriage vehicle No.ADA 6565. This impugned order is not in any way contrary to the permit issued by the concerned authority. If the petitioner plies the vehicles beyond the particular point as per the stage carriage permit, then only the cases will be registered against the petitioner. The impugned order does not form any legal infirmities. Therefore, the writ petition is totally devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed at the stage of admission.
