The learned Government Pleader was heard. The petitioner is the holder of a regular permit on the route Vaikom-Kottayam in respect of his stage carriage KL-17A 18. While the renewal application was pending, the petitioner was given a temporary permit successively, the last of which, was valid till 27.1.2007. The petitioner applied for re-issue of temporary permit on 23.1.2007. The petitioner has filed this writ petition complaining that the said application is not being considered. The petitioner seeks the following relief; “To issue a writ of mandamus or such other writs, order or direction, commanding the respondents to pass final orders on Ext.P2 application for temporary permit pending renewal of regular permit application on the route Kottayam-Vaikom in respect of stage carriage KL-17A 18 within a time frame as this Hon Court may deem fit and proper.” By the very nature of the facts of the case, it is obvious that this writ petition has become infructuous. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge 2
