TO JUDGE ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 35334 OF 2007 F ===================== Dated this the 18th day of January, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a registered owner of Bus No.KL-08 X-2111 operating on the route Thrissur-Ernakulam via Oorakam, Irinjalakuda, Vellangallur as an LSOS. 2. The only relief that is sought before me is for implementation of Ext.P5. Ext.P5 is an order passed by the STAT in MVARP No.611/06 in which the 2nd respondent herein was the petitioner. The STAT disposed of that revision petition with the following directions. In the result, the revision petition is allowed in part and the R.T.A. is directed to re-settle the timing at a speed of 1.75 minutes per kilometre, provided all other L.S.O.S. services on the sector Thrissur-Kodungallur are operating at a speed of 1.75 minutes per kilometre or less. In other respects the petition will stand dismissed. It is made clear that petitioner is not entitled to claim gap exceeding two minutes with the service of R3 a senior operator. Thus, all that the petitioner seeks is that the running time WPC 35334/07 :2 : should be fixed as directed by the STAT. The 2nd respondent has no case that Ext.P5 order has been implemented. If that be so, the 1st respondent is bound to carry out the directions of the STAT, which the respondent shall do with notice to all concerned. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
