BY ADV. SRI.I.DINESH MENON RESPONDENT(S): --------------------------- 1. THE REGIONAL TRANSPORT AUTHORITY, KOTTAYAM-686 002. 2. THE SECRETARY, R.T.A., KOTTAYAM-686 002. R1 & R2 BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI. BASANT BALAJI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.34717 of 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated 25th November, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is the registered owner of a stage carriage bearing registration No.KL-17 D 7332. Ext.P2 is the application submitted by the petitioner for grant of a regular permit on the route Udayanapuram - Kottayam. The petitioner has also submitted Ext.P4 application for grant of a temporary permit. Ext.P2 application is pending before the first respondent and Ext.P4 application is pending before the second respondent. Since the said applications are pending before respondents 1 and 2 respectively, I do not think it necessary to consider the contentions on merits. Since the first respondent is the competent authority to consider Ext.P2 application and the second respondent is the competent authority to consider Ext.P4 application, without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions raised in this writ petition, this writ petition is disposed of as follows: There will be a direction to the first respondent to consider Ext.P2 application for grant of regular permit expeditiously, at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In the meanwhile, the second respondent shall consider WP(C).No.34717/2010 2 Ext.P4 application and pass appropriate orders thereon within a period of two weeks, in accordance with law.
