BY GOVT.PLEADER SRI.I.V.PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 6713 OF 2008 Y = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 27th February, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner was issued a driving licence and a badge. After obtaining licence he had gone abroad and by the time he came back the validity of the licence and badge had expired. Petitioner applied for its renewal and complaining that orders were not passed this writ petition has been filed. 2. The obvious reason for not filing an application by the petitioner for a fresh licence is that he does not satisfy the educational qualification that is prescribed by the rules. The licence and badge having expired long ago there cannot be any question of its renewal. If at all the petitioner wants licence he has to apply for a fresh licence and badge. For this purpose if he does not satisfy the law laid down, he will not be eligible at all. 3. In view of this, I do not find any reason to direct consideration of Exts. P3 and P4. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
