SIRI JAGAN, J. `````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 29723 of 2009 I `````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 6th day of November, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a stage carriage operator holding a permit to conduct service in the route Kuttippuram – Kozhikode Medical College. The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that the running time of the petitioner is 2.25 minutes per kilometer, whereas others in the same route have been granted lesser running time. Therefore, the petitioner has filed Ext.P3 application before the respondent seeking parity of running time. The petitioner's grievance is that although the same was filed as early as on 14-02-2008, the same has not been disposed of yet. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3, after hearing the parties concerned, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
