JUDGMENT The petitioner has approached this court challenging Ext.P1 decision of the R.T.A., Kasargode dated 21-2-2006 to the extent it allows joint application of transfer of permit subject to production of clearance certificate from Kerala Motor Transport Workers Welfare Fund Board. The challenge is made relying on an interim order of a Division Bench of this Court. But, the Division Bench has dismissed the writ appeal and has upheld the Circular issued by the competent authority demanding clearance of dues to the Kerala Motor Transport Workers Welfare Fund Board before ordering transfer of permit. Accordingly, the writ petition fails, and it is dismissed. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, MS JUDGE.
