Apparently, another stage carriage having regular permit on the same route has not been operated for the last more than one year. Petitioner, therefore, has been operating on a temporary permit, as evidenced by Exhibit-P1. He submitted that an application for renewal of the temporary permit as per Exhibit-P3 has not been considered by the 2nd respondent and hence the writ petition. After having heard the learned Government Pleader also, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exhibit-P3 within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
