BY GOVT. PLEADER SRI.I.V.PRAMOD. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO. 14209 OF 2007 N ------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of June, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner was granted a regular permit by the Regional Transport Authority as per Ext.P1. The petitioner states that he has already produced the current records of his vehicle as required in Ext.P1 for issuing the regular permit. However, since the grant of regular permit is subject to settlement of timings, the respondent has to settle the timings and issue regular permit which the respondent is not doing so. The petitioner therefore seeks a direction to the respondent to settle the timings and issue regular permit to the petitioner. 2. The learned Government Pleader submits that timings can be settled and permit issued only in the order of priority of issuing the permit since this Court has in another case specifically directed the Secretaries of R.T.As. to issue permits only in accordance with priority. 3. In the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to settle the timings of the petitioner with notice of hearing to others who may be affected by such timings in the order of priority of issuance of regular permits.
