That has not been done. 2. Learned Government Pleader submits that steps will be taken at the earliest. The matter shall be brought to the notice of the Government and steps must be taken to ensure that the Regional Transport Authority in every District meets at least once in a month. The petitioner's request will necessarily have to be decided by the RTA. The respondent shall take a decision on the petitioner's application for regular permit as early as possible, at any W.P.(C).19915/09 2 rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
