TRUE COPY PA TO JUDGE C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... W.P.(C) No.4804 of 2008 .................................................................... Dated this the 18th day of February, 2008. JUDGMENT The petitioner is challenging Ext.P6 order whereunder the STAT has rejected appeal against denial of temporary permit. I heard counsel for the petitioner and the Government Pleader and have also gone through the impugned order of the Tribunal. I do not find any ground to interfere with Ext.P6. However, since temporary permit can be considered when there is a temporary need under Section 87(1)(c) of the Motor Vehicles Act, I dispose of the W.P. leaving freedom to the petitioner to make application for temporary permit if there is any temporary need for the same. If any such application is filed, the Secretary, RTA will consider the same based on current norms and requirements in the route, independent of grounds on which earlier application was rejected and confirmed by the Tribunal. If application is filed, it should be disposed of within three weeks from the date of filing the same. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
