SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO: 7461 OF 2010 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th March, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner is a stage carriage operator conducting services on the route Thrissur-Ernakulam High Court Junction-Kumbalam with stage carriage vehicle No: KL-08/AH 2244. The petitioner is operating his service with a set of timings issued on 29.3.2005. 2. According to the petitioner, after arriving at Thrissur at 1.23 p.m there is a halt of 2 hours. Since the present departure time is at 3.30 p.m the petitioner's vehicle is made to idle unnecessarily during this period though there are time slots available to be allotted to him. However, though the petitioner has requested for the variation of his timings, no orders have been passed thereon. He seeks appropriate directions for an early disposal of his request. The Government Pleader has no objection to such a direction being issued. 3. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the request of the petitioner for the variation of his timings evidenced herein by Ext.P1 and to pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, as WPC 7461/2010 2 expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
