RAVINDRAN, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.24095 of 2011 ------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of November, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner applied for grant of a fresh regular stage carriage permit to operate a stage carriage on the route Panunda – Thalassery. The Regional Transport Authority, Kannur that met on 28.6.2011 considered the application and resolved to grant the permit subject to settlement of timings. This writ petition is filed alleging that though current records of the vehicle were produced, the time schedule has not been settled and permit has not so far been issued. 2. When the writ petition came up for admission-hearing on 7.9.2011, this Court passed the following order:- Admit. Issue urgent notice returnable in 10 days to the respondent. If pursuant to Ext.P1 proceedings issued by the Regional Transport Authority, Kannur, the petitioner has within the time limit of 30 days produced the current records of stage carriage bearing registration No.KL-58 A 2354 and the records are in order, the second respondent shall hold the timing conference, settle the timings and issue the permit within two weeks from the date of production of a copy of this order. If for any reason, the respondent is not in a position to settle the timings and to issue the permit, he shall issue the permit with a set of provisional timings and thereafter settle the timings after inviting objections from other stage carriage operators. 3. Today, when the writ petition came up for hearing, W.P.(C) No. 2 Sri.I.Dinesh Menon, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that pursuant to the interim order passed on 7.9.2011, timing conference was held and time schedule settled and the permit issued. The learned Government Pleader also submitted that a timing conference was held on 22.9.2011. In such circumstances, nothing survives for consideration in this writ petition. It is accordingly closed with the observation that the interim order passed by this Court shall be deemed to be the permit issued pursuant to this judgment. P.N.RAVINDRAN, Judge. nj.
