No.6611 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 2nd day of March, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner submits that Ext.P2 application has been made before the 1st respondent for replacement of the vehicle, and Ext.P3 application for clearance certificate has been made before the 2nd respondent. Orders have not been passed on the applications by the respondents. With the complaint of delay in passing orders on the aforesaid applications, the writ petition is filed. 2. Taking into account, the aforesaid grievance of the writ petitioner, I direct the aforesaid respondents to consider and pass orders on Exts.P2 & P3 applications. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within eight weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. 3. The petitioner submits that in order to pass orders on Ext.P2, the 1st respondent has ordered surrender of the permit. This I do not think is justifiable. Therefore, orders shall be passed without insisting of surrender of the permit. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
