GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 1759 OF 2009 (H) ==================== Dated this the 23rd day of January, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that in respect of his Stage Carriage KL-8/C 2948, by Ext.P1 proceedings of the 2nd respondent, renewal of permit was granted. It is stated that though the renewal was granted as early as on 7/8/2008, renewed permit has not been issued by the 1st respondent. Meanwhile the vehicle became 15 years old and therefore seeking its replacement, petitioner also made Ext.P2 to the 1st respondent and that also remains unattended. Petitioner also made Exts.P3 and P4 seeking a temporary permit and the counsel complains that orders on Exts.P3 and P4 also has not been passed. It is in view of this situation, the writ petition is filed praying for directing that orders be passed on Exts. P3 and P4. 2. As is seen from Ext.P1, renewal was granted as early as on 7/8/2008. Similarly, the applications for replacement and temporary permit were also made on 18/9/2008. 3. Having regard to the long lapse of time since the issuance of Ext.P1 permit, I direct the 1st respondent to take necessary action for the issue of the permit granted by Ext.P1, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. WPC 1759/09 :2 : Simultaneously Exts.P2 application for replacement should also be considered. In the meanwhile, Exts.P3 and P4 applications shall also be considered and orders thereon shall be passed without any further delay. 4. Petitioner may produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
