BASANT BALAJI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/12/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.37009 of 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated 13th December, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is the registered owner of stage carriage with registration No. KL 8 X 2122. He is operating the stage carriage service on the route Chentrappinni - Chemmanampathy with the said stage carriage. Subsequently, he had applied for variation of the permit conditions. That was granted as per Ext.P1. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent who is bound to give effect to the decision in terms of Rule 131 of the Kerala Motor Vehicles Rules is not endorsing the same in the permit after settling the timings in terms of Ext.P1. 2. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader. 3. Ext.P1 would reveal that the application for grant of variation submitted by the petitioner was granted subject to settlement of timings. Therefore, in terms of Rule 131 of the Kerala Motor Vehicles Rules the respondent is bound to give effect to the same and for that purpose he is bound to settle the timings and to issue the same in terms of Ext.P1. WP(C).No.37009/2010 2 In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to convene a timing conference in terms of Ext.P1 and settle the timings and thereafter issue the permit in terms of Ext.P1. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that already the petitioner has submitted Ext.P2 proposed timings. The same shall also be taken into consideration while settling the timings. This shall be done expeditiously, at any rate within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, with notice to the petitioner and also to the other interested operators on the route.
