SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/02/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.5240 of 2010 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of February, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a stage carriage operator conducting service on the route Thalpacheri-Kasaragod with vehicle No.KL-13/J 5481. According to the petitioner, his timings were fixed on 26.7.2005. Subsequent to the settlement of his timings, a number of new services have started operation on the route. Consequently, the time gap available to the petitioner's service has become substantially reduced. As a result, it has become difficult for the petitioner to conduct his services without clashes with the timings of the other operators. The petitioner has therefore, moved the respondent for a revision of his own timings. His complaint is that no orders have been passed on his application till date. In the above circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the request of the petitioner for variation of his own timings, as evidenced by Ext.P1 in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after hearing the petitioner as well as other interested persons.
