The second respondent sought prior concurrence from the first respondent since the route is an inter district route. The petitioner's contention is that the first respondent is not passing orders, on the request of the second respondent, which was made as early as on 5.3.2005. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the first respondent is directed to consider the request of the second respondent dated 5.3.2005 for prior concurrence in respect of the application for regular permit submitted by the petitioner and communicate its decision to the second respondent, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, Mbs/ Judge WP(C) NO.20489 of 2007 :-2-: S.SIRI JAGAN, J ------------------------------------ WP(C) NO.20489 of 2007 :-3-: W.P.(C) NO.
