SATHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. ----------------------- W.P.(C).No.4312 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 18th day of February, 2009. JUDGMENT Sri. Shiju B.C, the additional 3rd respondent in Ext.P1 judgment seeks an order to implead him , but I do not think it is necessary, in the nature of the judgment I propose to pass. Still, I have heard him also. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that although he has been making applications for temporary permit for a period of 4 months, he is issued temporary permits only for 20 days. Government Pleader on instructions submit that permit in question is an inter-district one and except without the concurrence of the sister RTA, it is not possible to issue temporary permit for more than 20 days. It is stated that it was therefore that the permits were issued restricting it for 20 days. WP(c).No.4312/09 /2/ 3. In view of the position as stated by the Government Pleader, I do not think that the respondent can be faulted for granting temporary permit for 20 days. However it is clarified that if circumstances justify, it will be open to the respondent to seek concurrence and issue permits for longer periods. Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
