SENIOR GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.K.S.MOHAMED HASHIM THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 29/10/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J ----------------------------------- W.P.(C).NO.27408 OF 2009 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of October, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a stage carriage operator. He applied for a regular permit, in respect of which the State Transport Appellate Tribunal passed Ext.P1 judgment, in which it has been allowed as follows: “ In the result, this appeal is allowed. The impugned order is set aside and the first respondent is directed to grant fresh regular permit as sought for by the appellant, of course, avoiding the sector between Cheruthoni and Idukki, as Super Fast service and then call upon the appellant to make available a suitable vehicle fit for such higher class of service in accordance with Rule 260A of the K.M.V. Rules”. The petitioner's grievance is that the R.T.A has not taken steps to comply with the direction of the State Transport Appellate Tribunal in the said judgment. 2. The learned Government Pleader submits that going by the number of applications for permit pending consideration before them, the RTA would require at least two more months' time to consider and pass orders on the petitioner's application in accordance with Ext.P1 W.P.(C).NO.27408 OF 2009 2 judgment. 3. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition, with a direction to the first respondent to consider the petitioner's application for permit in accordance with Ext.P1 judgment of the Tribunal, as expeditiously as possible at any rate within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE. pm
