RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: N I L /TRUE COPY/ P.A.TO JUDGE Kss V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No.37820 of 2007 -------------------------- Dated this the 3rd October, 2008 J U D G M E N T First respondent, who is the permit holder of stage carriage operating on the route Kannur-Thalassery filed an application before the 2nd respondent for renewal of the permit and to transfer the same in favour of the petitioner. As per Exhibit P1, the 2nd respondent took a decision to sanction the transfer but subject to realization of dues. According to the petitioner, dues had been realized earlier, as evidenced by Exhibit P2. Later by Exhibit P3 proceedings dated 4.7.2007 sanction granted under Exhibit P1 was revoked on the ground that petitioner failed to produce current records of the stage carriage KDE 7772. The same has been challenged in this writ petition. In my view, revocation if at all should have been done after notice to the petitioner. In the circumstances, Exhibit P3 is quashed. Second respondent shall pass a W.P ( C) No.37820 of 2007 2 fresh order in the matter of revocation of Exhibit P1 order, after notice of the petitioner. This shall be done within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
