PLEADER SRI.P.NARAYANAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 31/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No.20674 of 2009 -------------------------- Dated this the 31st July,2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a stage carriage operator operating on the route Poothotta-Kaloor on a regular permit. He sought for variation of the permit. Proposal was rejected by the RTA under Ext.P1. The Tribunal vide Ext.P2 reversing the order, directed the RTA to grant variation as sought for by the petitioner subject to settlement of timings. 2. The RTA again considered the matter and took a decision, as evidenced by Ext.P3 adjourning the matter indefinitely. This was challenged by the petitioner in WPC No.36298/2008 wherein, Ext.P3 was set aside and the RTA was directed to comply with the directions of the STAT within a time frame. RTA granted variation of permit, as evidenced by Ext.P6, subject to settlement of timings. Timings have not been settled by the respondents in spite of the order, on more than one occasion. Hence the writ petition. Learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that the delay in settlement of timings though it was ordered as evidenced by Ext.P6 was due to the intervening General W.P ( C) No.20674 of 2009 2 Elections. Settlement of timings in relation to the petitioner’s varied permit shall be effected strictly going by the list of priority of such requests, maintained in the office of the respondent, and at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Submission is recorded. Writ petition is disposed of as above. (V.GIRI,JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No.20674 of 2009 3
