DATED THIS THE 2nd DAY OF JUNE, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a Stage Carriage operator conducting services on the route Kozhikode- Kannur with Stage Carriage vehicle bearing registration No.KL-18.B 8168 on the strength of a regular permit. The petitioner's vehicle has subsequently been replaced by a vehicle bearing registration No.KL-11/A 7846. His service is being conducted as a Limited Stop Ordinary Service from 2001. According to the petitioner, the timings of another vehicle bearing registration No.KL- 18/B 6858 was revised as a result of which a vacant timing is existing for the departure from Kannur. The petitioner submitted a request for allotment of the said vacant timing to him so that he would be able to depart from Kannur at 11.50 am. The above arrangement, according to the petitioner would eliminate clashes and competition among the other operators. The petitioner complains that no action has been taken on his request, evidenced herein by Ext.P1. He prays for the issue of appropriate orders for a consideration of Ext.P1 on an early date. The Wpc 16899/2010 2 learned Senior Government Pleader has no objection to such a direction being issued. 2.
