JUDGMENT The petitioner is a stage carriage operator conducting services on the route Neeramankara-Pongummoodu. It is a route introduced as per a notification issued under Section 71(3) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.

The petitioner has moved an application for the re- issue of his temporary permit. However, he complains that no orders have been passed thereon, till date. The learned Government Pleader submits that the petitioner's application would be considered and appropriate orders passed, without delay. 2. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the application of the petitioner, for the re-issue of his temporary permit, evidenced herein by Ext.P2, in accordance with law, and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within WPC 13854/2010 2 a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
