THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.21836 of 2005 Dated 27-03-2006 Between: Naseer Pasha. ..... PETITIONER AND State Transport Authority, Hyderabad, and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.21836 of 2005 O R D E R: The petitioner states that he made two applications seeking contract carriage permits as required under Section 73 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Act’). The said applications are registered as R.Nos.7953/B3/05 and 7954/B3/05. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents failed to consider the request of the petitioner and so far no orders have been passed on the applications of the petitioner. Hence this writ petition seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in not considering the applications of the petitioner for grant of contract carriage permits in respect of the areas comprising routes from Rayadurg to Tirupathi is arbitrary and illegal. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Transport appearing for the respondents, without expressing any opinion as to the entitlement of the petitioner for grant of the permits as sought by him, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the applications of the petitioner and to dispose of the same in terms of Section 74 of the Act as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. _____________ (G. ROHINI, J) Date:27-03-2006 ghn
