He applied for the grant of a regular stage carriage permit on the route Beypore- Puthiyappa-Malikkadavu-Gotheswaram by offering stage carriage No.KL-11/R 7009. The petitioner also submitted a request seeking to revise his timings, since it was fixed as early as in September 2002. According to the petitioner, due to the introduction of new services, his departure time requires revision. However, the request was rejected by the respondent. As per order of the State Transport Appellate Tribunal in MVARP No.463/2007, the petitioner's request for revision of timings was directed to be re- considered. Though the petitioner produced the order immediately, no orders have been passed by the respondent till date. According to the petitioner, the order of the STAT has become final. 2. In the above circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the request of the petitioner for revision of timings in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after hearing all affected parties.
