By Ext.P1 proceedings, the Regional Transport Authority granted a regular permit, subject to the settlement of timings. Ext.P2 shows that a timing conference was scheduled to be held on 19.3.2008, but it was adjourned. The net result is that the regular permit is not granted to the petitioner and he is unable to ply the vehicle. 2. I heard learned Government Pleader also. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to settle the timings in relation to the permit granted to the petitioner and issue the permit within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Objections, if any, to the timings suggested W.P.(C).21077 of 2008 :: 2 :: by the petitioner, by any other operator shall also be taken into account. The objectors shall also be heard before issuance of the regular permit. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE. sk/- //true copy// P.S. To Judge
