P2 proceedings of the RTA by which variation of regular permit was granted subject to settlement of timings. It is confirmed by the learned Govt. Pleader that timing conference is yet to be scheduled and according to him, the respondents are following a strict priority and it is on that basis that timing conferences are scheduled. Since the 2nd respondent is following a priority system as submitted by the learned Govt. Pleader, this Court will not be justified in directing that the priority be overlooked in cases of applicants who move this Court. 2. In view of the priority system that is in vogue, what is appropriate is to direct the 2nd respondent to convene a timing conference in pursuance to Ext. P2 and in compliance with the priority that is followed and I do so. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
