The vehicle is a 1997 model one and has therefore completed 13 years. Since the vehicle is giving constant trouble, the petitioner wants to replace the same with a later model vehicle. Since the permit of the petitioner is valid till 24.8.2011, the petitioner submitted an application for suspension of his permit and to release the vehicle from the permit, so that he would be able to dispose of the same. The petitioner contends that no orders have been passed on Ext.P3, till date. The learned Senior Government Pleader submits that the matter would be considered and appropriate orders would be passed thereon, without delay. 2. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the wpc No.26670/2010 2 request of the petitioner evidenced herein by Ext.P3, in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
