THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.NO.1680 OF 2007 Dt.01-02-2007 Between: A.M.Vijayammal …Petitioner And State Transport Authority, A.P., Khairatabad, Hyderabad …Respondent THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.NO.1680 OF 2007 ORDER: The petitioner is the owner of a vehicle bearing No.TN 23/S/9000. She holds a permit to operate the vehicle on the inter-state route from Tirupathi to Arakonam. She is said to have submitted an application on 22-11-2004, before the respondent herein, with a request to grant permission to operate additional singles. Her grievance is that the respondent has not taken any action thereon, though more than two years have been elapsed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Transport. The limited grievance of the petitioner is about non-consideration of her application, for variation of conditions of permit. The respondent is not an agency, which functions on continuous basis. Its business is transacted in the meetings, which are conducted occasionally. Compared to the consideration of fresh applications, for grant of permits etc., the application of the petitioner assumes secondary importance. Be that as it may, the very purpose of ﬁling applications for variation of conditions would be defeated, if it kept pending for years together. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on the application of the petitioner, dated 22-11-2004, in the next meeting, or within four months from today, whichever is earlier. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.01-02-2007. Note: cc in two days. (B/O) KO
