JUDGMENT The petitioner is a Stage Carriage Operator holding a regular permit on the route Mulanjoor-Manjeri. Petitioner applied for replacement of the vehicle. Since the application for replacement was not submitted in time, the permit expired and thereafter the petitioner is conducting service on the basis of temporary permits issued from time to time. The validity of the present temporary permit expired on 04.10.2009. Petitioner submitted Ext.P3 application as directed in Ext.P2 intimation from the respondent. Petitioner's grievance is that Ext.P3 filed as early as on 17.09.2009 has not yet been considered. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition directing the respondent to consider Ext.P3 application and pass orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (S. SIRI JAGAN) JUDGE kkms/
