IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR.

MOHAMMED, MULAKKAMPILLY HOUSE, CEPZ.P.O, CHITTETTUKARA, KAKKANAD, ERNAKULAM DISTRICT. BY ADV. SRI.G.PRABHAKARAN RESPONDENT(S): ---------------------- 1. THE REGIONAL TRANSPORT AUTHORITY, ERNAKULAM, REP. BY ITS SECRETARY. 2. THE SECRETARY, REGIONAL TRANSPORT AUTHORITY, ERNAKULAM GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/01/2009,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 2162 OF 2009 (G) ==================== Dated this the 21st day of January, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that an application made by him for renewal of regular permit was adjourned as per Ext.P1 proceedings of the 1st respondent held on 18/11/2008. A reading of Ext.P1 shows that on account of objectionable overlapping, holding that the permit is not renewable, proceedings have been adjourned. In my view, in the circumstances pointed out in Ext.P1, the RTA should have taken a final decision instead of adjourning the proceedings. Now that Ext.P1 does not reflect a final decision on the petitioner's application for renewal of its permit, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to take a final decision in this matter, within 8 weeks of receipt of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
