IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.5222 of 2011 The Alakhpura Lamba Farm House Cooperative Transport Society Limited Versus State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Hisar & others Present: Mr.Rajvir Singh Sihag, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner was granted a stage carriage permit on route No.24 of Bhiwani District. This route was changed to route No.38 of District Fatehabad from Fatehabad to Adampur. The petitioner claims to be temporarily operating on route No.14. This was on account of the fact that he was not able to viably operate on the earlier route. The petitioner subsequently has made application for grant of permit to operate on route No.14. This prayer has been declined on the ground that petitioner cannot be permitted to seek extension of route under Section 80(3) of the Motor Vehicles Act. The petitioner submits that this case has not been properly considered. This was not a case of extension of route, but was for grant of a new route. Since the petitioner was granted this route to operate on temporary basis, obviously it could be a case of extension once he is asking for transferring the same to permanent nature. Otherwise also, the petitioner has still a valid route standing on which he can operate. There is no averment shown to me that the petitioner has satisfied the conditions contained in Section 80(1) of the Motor Vehicles Act to ask for new route. I am, therefore, not inclined to interfere in exercise of writ jurisdiction. Dismissed. March 23, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
