JUDGMENT The petitioner is a Stage Carriage Operator having a regular permit on the route Chalakudy-Kottappuram-Angamaly- Potta. He applied for certain variation of the conditions of the permit. Timings in respect of the same were settled, according to the petitioner, in terms of the grant. On receiving complaints from some persons, the first respondent issued a stop memo. Petitioner filed W.P.(C).No.12606/2005. The said writ petition was disposed of directing the respondent to settle the timings in terms of the grant. The contesting respondent challenged the same in Writ Appeal No. 1046/2005. That was disposed of directing the respondent to settle the timings within a period of six weeks. The time was also extended thereafter. A Review Petition was filed on 19.07.2006. In the same, the respondent was permitted to revise the entire timings including existing timings. Petitioner's grievance is that no steps have been taken to settle the timings as directed in Ext.P4 order in the Review Petition. Petitioner therefore seeks the following reliefs. W.P.(C). No. 29994 OF 2009 2 i. issue a writ of mandamus or such other writs, order or direction, directing the Secretary, RTA, Thrissur to settle the timings as directed by this Hon Court in Review Petition No.223/2006 in W.A.No.1046/2005, so as to enable the petitioner to operate of varied route, within a time frame as this Hon Court may deem fit and proper. ii. to grant such other relief's as this Hon Court may deem fit and proper. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. After hearing both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondent to settle the timings of the petitioner's varied permit in accordance with the direction in Ext.P4 order in R.P.No.223/2006 in W.A.No.1046/2005 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
