THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 28405 of 2007 Date: 31.12.2007 Between: S.P. Vijay Kumar … Petitioner AND The Joint Transport Commissioner & Secretary, State Transport Authority, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad. … Respondent Counsel for the petitioner : Sri E. Maruthi Raja Counsel for the respondent: Assistant Government Pleader for Transport THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 28405 of 2007 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare the action of the respondent in not considering and disposing of the application of the petitioner dated 14.12.2007 registered as R.No.833/B1/07 said to have been filed by him for grant of renewal of permits bearing Nos.28/64 and 27/64 valid up to 31.12.2007, as illegal and arbitrary. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Transport. At the hearing, Sri E. Maruthi Raja, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that though the petitioner submitted application dated 14.12.2007, which was registered by the respondent as R.No.833/B1/07, the same is not disposed of. He submitted that the permits held by him are expiring on 31.12.2007 and unless their renewal is made, he will be forced to stop plying of the vehicles. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Transport pointed out that the petitioner has not filed a copy of the application said to have been filed before the respondent for renewal. Ordinarily, this writ petition would not have been entertained as the petitioner failed to file the copy of the application said to have been filed before the respondent for renewal, but in view of the fact that he gave the registration number evincing receipt and registration of his application, I do not want to non-suit him only on the ground of non-filing of the application. Since the relief sought for by the petitioner is very innocuous, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction that the respondent shall forthwith dispose of the application of the petitioner, if it was already filed by him and registered as claimed by him in this writ petition. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.37115 of 2007 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 31.12.2007 Note:- Issue CC in two days.
