BASANT BALAJI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 13/07/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: W.P.(C)NO.14567/07 APPENDIX EXT.P1: TRUE COPY OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE RESPONDENT DATED 21.12.2006. TRUE COPY PA TO JUDGE. S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C)NO. 14567 2007 ---------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 13th DAY OF JULY, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioners applied for regular permit in an inter-district route. The same has not been granted yet, on the ground that the concurrence of the sister RTAs has not been obtained. The petitioner submits that it is the usual practice in such cases to avoid delay to issue permit subject to countersignature by the sister RTAs. It's not disputed before me. This Court had earlier, in similar cases,directed to grant regular permit subject to countersignature by the sister RTAs. 2. The learned Government pleader raises an apprehension that in case of such grant of permit subject to countersignature, there is likelihood of misusing the permit till countersignature is obtained. 3. I do not think that there is scope for such apprehension especially, in view of the fact that this Court had earlier granted similar prayers. In the above circumstances, I direct the R.T.A. concerned to consider the petitioner's application for grant of regular permit, if he is otherwise eligible subject to countersignature by the sister RTAs. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
