According the learned Government Pleader, initially the deviation from the route was permitted on account of the collapse of a bridge. It is pointed out that the bridge has now been restored. Learned Government Pleader also points out that subsequently when complaints were received from the petitioners, instructions were issued to the operators to ply their vehicles only through the route mentioned in the permit. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that despite all this even as of now, these vehicles are not plying through the route through which permits have been granted. This certainly is a matter for the official respondents to consider. 3. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the 2nd respondent shall on the production of a copy of this judgment, take note WPC 20775/08 :2 : of the grievances of the petitioners and take appropriate action for redressal of their grievances. Any such action shall only be with notice to additional respondents 6 and 7. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
