THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA Writ Petition No.29799 of 1998 Dated: 05th July, 2006 Between: V.Srinivas Reddy … Petitioner and The Regional Transport Authority, rep. by its Secretary, Prakasham … Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA Writ Petition No.29799 of 1998 Oral Order: Heard. 2. This Writ Petition is filed seeking to declare the action of the responde nt in not granting temporary stage carriage permit to the petitioner from Chirala to Vetapalem via Pattu-Chirala Spinning Mills, Ramnagar etc., as illegal and arbitrary. 3. Initially, this Court, by order dated 27-10-1998, in W.P.M.P.No.36431 of 1998, had granted interim direction to the respondent to consider the case of the petitioner for grant of temporary stage carriage permit in accordance with the rules within a period of two weeks. 4. No further information is forthcoming as to what had happened pursuant to the said interim direction. In all probability, some order might have been passed. In view of the longevity of the pendency of the matter since 1998, I do not see any reason at this length of time to pass any order in this Writ Petition. 5. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed. It is needless to state that the interim order granted by this Court earlier shall automatically stand vacated. No costs. _____________ D.S.R.VARMA, J 05th July, 2006. Ak
