THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/09/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: prv. C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.23619 of 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated 24th September, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is the owner of a Bajaj Autorickshaw bearing registration No. KL-55A- 3563. He has submitted Ext.P3 application for change of halting place from Villur East to Kottakkal Town. The same was considered and Ext.P5 order was passed rejecting Ext.P3 application. The contention of the petitioner is that Ext.P5 is suffered from an inherent illegality inasmuch as the request made as per Ext.P3 was not at all considered. Obviously, as per Ext.P3 the petitioner has requested for changing the halting place to Kottakkal Town. However, a perusal of Ext.P5 would reveal that Ext.P3 application was considered as if the request was for changing the halting place to Tirur Municipality. In view of the said inherent error apparent on the face of Ext.P5, it is liable to be set aside. Accordingly, it is set aside. This writ petition is accordingly, disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider Ext.P3 application afresh in accordance with law expeditiously, at any rate, in the next RTA meeting or within one month, whichever is earlier.
