RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO. 24485 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of October, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is the owner of a goods carriage vehicle bearing registration No.KL-4 S 7195. He has submitted Ext.P2 application for renewal of permit in respect of the said vehicle before the first respondent. The grievance of the petitioner pertains to the non-consideration of Ext.P2 on the ground of non-production of 'No Objection Certificate' from the second respondent. Accordingly, the petitioner has made such a request before the second respondent to issue the 'No Objection Certificate'. The learned counsel for the second respondent would admit that such a request has been received by the second respondent. Admittedly, Ext.P2 application for renewal of permit has been received by the first respondent. The reason that such a request was made without the No Objection Certificate cannot be a reason for non-consideration of the request for renewal of permit. If that be so, the first respondent is bound to consider Ext.P2 application and pass orders thereon. Admittedly, the petitioner has approached the second respondent and requested for No Objection W.P.(C) NO.24485/2010 2 Certificate. However, the same was not issued. Therefore, in case the second respondent has any objection, the same shall have to be raised before the first respondent. In the circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 application for renewal of permit, in accordance with law, with notice to the petitioner and the second respondent. This shall be done expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) spc W.P.(C) NO.24485/2010 3 C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J.
