Ext.P7 proceedings issuing the permit was based on Ext.P6 decision of the R.T.A., Kottayam, to grant the permit on the route. If the petitioner was aggrieved by that decision, it could have filed an appeal against it before the S.T.A.T. The said remedy was not invoked and therefore, Ext.P6 order has gained statutory finality. So, the challenge to Ext.P7, which is the proceedings issuing the permit granted as per Ext.P6 order, is not maintainable. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. 3rd October, 2008.
