According to the petitioner, the service operated by him is a 'Limited Stop Ordinary Service' (LSOS) and he applied for conversion of service from LSOS to 'Super Express' before the respondent, since the total route length exceeds 200 Kms. Against the said order of rejection, the petitioner approached the State Transport Appellate Tribunal and the Tribunal allowed the appeal setting aside the impugned order, as evidenced by Ext.P1. The Tribunal has also directed to grant conversion of service as sought for by the petitioner, if actually the vehicle offered is fit for such higher class of service. The grievance of the petitioner is that though Ext.P1 was served on the respondent for taking action as directed by the Tribunal, the respondent is not taking any steps to implement Ext.P1. WP(C) NO.12655 of 2009 :-2-: 2. When the above matter came up for consideration, both the counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader have agreed in disposing of the writ petition with a direction to the respondent to consider the request of the petitioner and pass orders in terms of Ext.P1 judgment. 3. Thus, there will be a direction to the respondent to consider the request of the petitioner and to pass appropriate orders on the basis of Ext.P1 judgment as envisaged under Rule 130 of the Kerala Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 within one month from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner is directed to produce a copy of this judgment before the respondent on any date after 18th May, 2009. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
