RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO.30687 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 15th day of October, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is the registered owner of a goods carriage vehicle bearing registration No.KL-04 S 7560. Admittedly, the same is hypothecated to the third respondent. The petitioner has submitted an application before the second respondent for renewal of permit in respect of the said vehicle. The grievance of the petitioner is that the second respondent is insisting for production of 'No Objection Certificate' from the third respondent for considering the request for renewal. It is in the said circumstances that this Writ Petition has been filed. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Government Pleader. Admittedly, the application submitted by the petitioner for renewal of permit has been received by the second respondent. Since the second respondent is the competent authority to consider the said request, I am inclined to dispose of this Writ Petition as hereunder:- The second respondent shall consider the application submitted by W.P.(C) NO.30687/2010 2 the petitioner for renewal of permit in respect of the vehicle bearing registration No.KL-04 S 7560 expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment with notice to the third respondent as well.
