J U D G M E N T The petitioner's complaint is that, by Ext.P2, the request of the Secretary, RTA, Pathanamthitta, for concurrence of renewal of regular permit has been adjourned by the 1st respondent in view of the pendency of S.L.P.No.9466/07 filed by the KSRTC, before the Supreme Court. The counsel for the petitioner submits that the said S.L.P has nothing to do with the route in question and therefore the reason stated for adjournment is irrelevant. Having regard of the above submission, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 1st respondent shall consider the request made by the Secretary, RTA, Pathanamthitta, for concurrence for renewal of the regular permit of the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within eight weeks on production of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE bkn/-
