Respondents Prayer: Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying for the issuance of a Writ of mandamus to direct the second respondent to implement the order of the first respondent dated 3/9/2009 in Appeal No.57 of 2008. For Petitioner : Mr.J. Anand Kumar For Respondent : Mr.P.Thilak Kumar, AGP O R D E R By consent, the main writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal. 2. Mr.P.Thilak Kumar, Additional Government Pleader takes notice on behalf of the respondents. 3. The petitioner has come up with the present Writ Petition praying to direct the second respondent to implement the order of the first respondent dated 3/9/2009 in Appeal No.57 of 2008. 4. The case of the petitioner is that he has applied for operation of Mini bus in the route of Puthanatham to Kaulpannai on 4/12/2002. However, no orders have been passed on his application. Hence, the petitioner filed a writ https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 petition in W.P.No.1786 of 2003 and by an order dated 22/1/2003, the second respondent was directed to consider the said application and pass orders. 5. In pursuant to the same, hearing was fixed in the year 2003. At the time of hearing, it was suggested to give permit for the modified route. The petitioner therefore, made a request to give permit for another route. However, the same was rejected by the respondent by his proceeding dated 28/7/2003. Therefore, the petitioner filed an appeal before the first respondent and the first respondent by an order dated 1/11/2004, directed the second respondent to issue permit to the modified route. 6. However, one Raman has filed a writ petition before the Principal Bench of this Court in W.P.No.37200 of 2005 and the said writ petition was dismissed by an order dated 7/4/2005 with a direction to dispose of his application within four weeks. 7. Thereafter, in pursuant to the orders of the Honourable High Court, a route survey was done by MVI Grade 1, Trichy and submitted a report on 17/5/2005. However, the first respondent has not passed any orders and hence, a representation was sent to the respondents. The claim of the petitioner was rejected and therefore, he has preferred an appeal before the first respondent. After hearing the parties and considering the relevant materials, the first respondent has passed the order allowing the appeal and remitted the matter back to the respondent for fresh consideration. 8. The petitioner therefore, filed a writ petition in W.P.No.13067 of 2009 on the ground that the first respondent himself could have considered the claim of the petitioner to grant permit. However, the said representation was subsequently withdrawn by the petitioner. The petitioner thereafter, approached the respondents with numerous representations. Since the same has not been considered so far, the petitioner has approached this Court by way of filing the present writ petition. 9. Considering the limited scope of the matter, without expressing any opinion on the claim made by the petitioner, I direct the (*) 2nd Respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 3/9/2009 and pass appropriate orders on merits and in accordance with law within https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 3 a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 10. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. No costs.
