The Regional Transport Authority, Thrissur that met on 10.1.2011 resolved to grant the variation without any change in the existing timings on the existing route. Ext.P3 is a copy of the proceedings issued in that regard. The grievance voiced by the petitioner is that though the current records were produced by the petitioner on 06.02.2011, till date, the variation has not been endorsed on the original of the permit after settling the timings on the extended route. In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent to endorse the variation on the original of the permit after settling the timings on the extended route. W.P.(C).No. 12695 OF 2011 2 2. The respondent has been served. The learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondent submitted that in view of the fact that Ext.P3 order has attained finality and more than four months have passed thereafter, the respondent will settle the timings on the extended route and make the necessary endorsements on the original of the permit expeditiously. In the light of the said submission and having regard to the fact that more than four months have passed after Ext.P3 order was passed, I dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondent to settle the timings on the extended route and make the necessary endorsements on the original of the permit and issue the varied permit expeditiously and in any event within two weeks from the date on which the petitioner produces certified copy of the judgment before him. P.N.RAVINDRAN, JUDGE dmb
