P5 and P7 are under challenge. By these orders the variation applied for by the petitioner has been rejected and such rejection was confirmed by the STAT. A reading of Ext. P5 shows that the RTA was satisfied that the variation will not be of any convenience to the public as required under the Act. This was re- examined by the STAT and the STAT held that there was nothing to indicate that the variation will be of any convenience to the public. The STAT further held that there was nothing to show that there was any change of circumstance. In view of the concurrent findings of fact arrived at by the authorities, I do not propose to take a different view especially for want of any materials justifying the same. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
