MOHAMMED HASHIM THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 22/10/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 27480 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 22nd October, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a stage carriage operator possessing a regular permit to operate on the route Palazhi – City – Medical College in Kozhikode district. The petitioner applied for replacement of the vehicle. The same is not being considered on the ground that the petitioner has not submitted no objection certificate from the financier of the old vehicle. The petitioner contends that the question of producing no objection certificate from the financier arises only in case of renewal or transfer of permit and not in the case of replacement of vehicle. The petitioner relies on Ext. P4 judgment in support of the said contention. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. The learned Government Pleader could not dispute the fact that the issue involved in this writ petition is covered by Ext. P4 judgment. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed and the respondent is directed to consider and pass orders on Ext. P3 application for replacement of the vehicle submitted by the petitioner without insisting on production of no objection certificate from the financier, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
