BY ADV. SRI.P.DEEPAK RESPONDENT(S): --------------- THE SECRETARY, REGIONAL TRANSPORT AUTHORITY, ERNAKULAM. BY GP SMT.SUDHA DEVI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).32494/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 19th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner filed an application for regular permit on the route Aluva-Lourdes Hospital and he sought for the same against the quota reserved under the SC/ST category. RTA originally considered the matter on 27.1.2005 and granted regular permit subject to settlement of timings. But a timing conference was not convened and timings were not settled. Petitioner submits that on account of the delay in the timings being settled, he produced the records of a new vehicle and prayed for issuance of permit to the said vehicle. But this was not accepted by the RTA, which proceeded to revoke the permit already granted. This was challenged by the petitioner before the STAT, which had, as per Ext.P1 order, directed the issue of the granted permit subject to settlement of timings, if the documents made available by the petitioner in respect of the new vehicle are proper and correct. Petitioner's grievance is regarding the delay in further W.P.(C).32494/2008 2 consequential action being taken by the RTA in spite of the fact that Ext.P1 is dated 26.6.2008. Having heard learned Government Pleader also, writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent herein to proceed to issue permit in terms of Ext.P1 order and then settle the timings and convene a timing conference in this regard. The entire process shall be completed within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
