DEEPA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J ----------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).NO.22404/2008 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of July, 2008 JUDGMENT Exts.P3 and P4 are under challenge. 2. By Ext.P3, the request of the petitioner for a temporary permit was declined on the ground that there was no temporary need. Reference is also made to the judgment of this court in WP(c).No.34908/2007, where it was held that there was no scope for any temporary permit. An appeal was filed against Ext.P3 as MVVA.No.347/2008. The tribunal by Ext.P4 rejected the appeal accepting the finding of the lower authority. 3. The counsel for the petitioner now makes reference to paragraph 6 of the writ petition and contends that there are twelve vehicles plying on temporary permits and there is still vacancy available for granting him temporary permit. wp(c).No.22404/08 2 The petitioner did not raise this contention before either of the authorities and I am not inclined to entertain this plea now raised. 4. Going by Ext.P3 and Ext.P4, I do not find any material to interfere with these orders. On the materials placed before the authorities I am satisfied that their findings are not perverse warranting interference. Writ Petition fails and is dismissed.
