THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.20321 of 2000 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed by the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation, Hyderabad, with the prayer, which reads as under: “For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, the petitioner herein prays that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue an appropriate writ, order or direction, especially in the nature of a Writ of Certiorari, calling for the records relating to the impugned order, dt.26-7-2000 made in RP.No.56/98, State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, dismissing the revision petition and confirming the order in R.No.15479/A3/97, dt.2-7-1998 of the Regional Transport Authority, Visakhapatnam granting extension of the route, Narsipatnam Abid Centre to Nindugonda upto Rolugunta MRO’s Office; and quash both the orders as being illegal, without jurisdiction and invalid.” The third respondent filed an application seeking extension of existing town service route, Narsipatnam Abid Centre to Nindugonda up to Rolugunta MRO’s Office, and the second respondent – Regional Transport Authority, Visakhapatnam, considered the same and granted extension of the route as sought by the third respondent, vide proceedings, dated 02.07.1998. Against the said proceedings, the petitioner Corporation carried the matter in revision petition before the first respondent - State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, which in turn, by order, dated 26.07.2000 dismissed the same. Mainly, it was the case of the petitioner before the authorities that the applicant must obtain permission from the Corporation before seeking extension of the route. However, the Scheme itself provides an exception for the holder of stage carriage permit in respect of town service. Even the other objection that only existing holders of stage carriage permits are saved and no future permits can be granted, was rejected basing on the judgment of this Court in Writ Petition No.13319 of 1994. In view of the findings recorded basing on the above referred to judgment of this Court, I do not find any ground to interfere with the impugned order passed by the first respondent confirming the order of the second respondent. In that view of the matter, the Writ Petition is devoid of merit and it is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 29th NOVEMBER, 2011. kvni
