JUDGMENT The service, which was being operated on the route Madathara-Kallambalam, came to a stop and therefore, there arose a vacancy. The petitioner filed an application for a regular permit on 10.8.2006 vide Ext.P2. Since the concurrence from the Regional Transport Authority, Kollam is necessary, a decision on the application for regular permit is yet to be taken. The petitioner submits that Exts.P4 and P5 representations have been submitted by persons from all walks of life. There has been delay in the grant of regular permit. In the meantime, the petitioner has been conducting service on the strength of a temporary permit. But since the period of temporary permit has expired, he has filed Ext.P6 application for the re-issue of a temporary permit, which is pending. The writ petition has been filed alleging non-consideration of the application. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to pass orders on Ext.P6 within W.P.(C).NO.30187/08 :: 2 :: a period one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Insofar as the application for regular permit is concerned, the same is already pending consideration before the 1st respondent. A decision shall be taken by the 1st respondent within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. To Judge
