RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: N I L /TRUE COPY/ P.S.TO JUDGE Kss ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) 14760 of 2008 -------------------------------------------------------- Dated: JUNE 26, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner seeks expeditious orders on Ext.P3 application for substituted temporary permit. According to him, an application was made on 8.5.2008. But, however, orders are yet to be passed. 2. The learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that the vehicle offered in the place of the stage carriage is KL 9/G-8676 and that the said vehicle is in tax arrears. According to him, that is the reason for not passing orders on Ext.P3. 3. Though the learned counsel for the petitioner disputes the correctness of this statement, since it is primarily for the 1st respondent to take a decision on Ext.P3, I do not wish to express anything on the correctness of this stand taken by the respondents. This writ petition is disposed of directing that the 1st respondent shall consider Ext.P3 application and pass orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, and at any rate, within one month of production of a copy of this judgment.
