THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/12/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: rs C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.35542 of 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated 6th December, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner has applied for grant of regular permit before the Regional Transport Authority, Wayanad. The said application for regular permit to conduct stage carriage service on the inter-regional route Parakkadavu - Kannur was granted as per Ext.P1 subject to settlement of timings. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent is not taking action to settle the timings in terms of Ext.P1 though he is bound to give effect to the decision in Ext.P1 in terms of Rule 131 of the Kerala Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989. 2. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader. 3. Admittedly, as per Ext.P1, the application for grant of regular permit was granted as early as on 15.6.2010. In the said circumstances, in the light of Rule 131 of the Kerala Motor Vehicles Rules the respondent is bound to settle the timings in respect of the vehicle produced by the petitioner pursuant to Ext.P1 order. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to give effect to Ext.P1 by settling the timings in respect of the vehicle produced by the WP(C).No.35542/2010 2 petitioner pursuant to Ext.P1. This shall be done expeditiously, at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment with notice to the petitioner as also to the other interested operators on the route.
