The primary prayer in this writ petition is to issue a writ in the nature of mandamus or such other appropriate writ, order or direction to respondent No.1 to sanction a bus route to Calicut Court Complex from Calicut Bus-Stand of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation and Calicut Railway Station. 2. Admittedly, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P2 representation before respondent No.1 in this regard. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner will be satisfied if a direction is issued to respondent No.1 to take a decision on Ext.P2 representation without any further delay. In the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, we are satisfied that the above prayer is only just and reasonable. W.P.(C) No.35961 of 2009 - 2 - 3. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.1 to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 representation, strictly on its merit and in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Needless to mention that petitioner and all others concerned shall be afforded sufficient opportunity to be heard before any decision is taken in the matter. S.R.Bannurmath, Chief Justice A.K. Basheer, Judge vns
