Timings with respect to his stage carriage No. KL-18/18, was settled as per Ext.P1. Thereafter the petitioner has submitted Ext.P2 application for revision of timings settled as per Ext.P1. The contention of the petitioner is that on receipt of such an application, the respondent is bound to take a decision thereon after following procedures prescribed under Rule 2 (12) of the Kerala Motor Vehicle Rules. However, despite the receipt of Ext.P2 application, no action has been taken thereon by the respondent, it is contended. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader as well. The factum of receipt of Ext.P2 application is not disputed. Therefore, the respondent is bound to pass orders on Ext.P2 in accordance with the provisions as Ext.P2 is an application filed under Rule 145(7) of Kerala Motor Vehicle Rules. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to WPC.24684/2010 : 2 : the respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 in accordance with law with notice to the petitioner and other operators who are likely to be affected in case of revision of timings in respect of the aforesaid stage carriage. This shall be done within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Sd/- (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) jma //true copy// P.A to Judge
