JUDGMENT The petitioner is a stage carriage operator conducting services on the route Perunna-Ernakulam as a limited stop ordinary service with vehicle No: KL 5/H 5340. His timings were settled on 13.8.2008.

According to the petitioner there is also a vacant time available for being allotted to the petitioner. In spite of the above, he submits that no orders have been passed on his request till date. The learned Govt. Pleader has no objection to appropriate orders being issued to dispose of the petitioner's request on an early date. 2. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the request of the petitioner for variation of his own timings evidenced herein by Ext.P1 in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate WPC 8493/2010 2 within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after hearing the petitioner as well as other interested persons.
