TO JUDGE DCS P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. -------------------------------------- WP (C) No. 31851 of 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of December, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a stage carriage operator operating a stage carriage service on the route Kadamakkudy - Vyttila Jn. Via Chettibhagam, Manampadi Kapela Jn, Thykavu, Kunnumpuram School and Edappally Bye Pass as moffusil service. The petitioner applied for variation of the permit. The Regional Transport Authority, Ernakulam that met on 29.9.2011 resolved to grant the variation subject to settlement of timings. This writ petition is filed contending that though nearly three months have passed thereafter till date the time schedule has not been settled and the variation endorsed on the permit. In this writ petition the petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent to settle the timings and issue the varied permit in implementation of Ext.P1 proceedings within a time limit to be fixed by this Court. 2. Heard the learned counsel appearing on both sides. It is evident from Ext.P1 order that the variation sought and granted is beneficial to the travelling public. In such WP(C)No. 31851 of 2011 -2- circumstances, as the variation sought is beneficial to the travelling public, I am of the opinion that the respondent should settle the timings and issue the varied permit expeditiously. I accordingly dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondent to hold a timing conference, settle the timings and issue the varied permit in implementation of Ext.P1 proceedings of the the Regional Transport Authority, Ernakulam expeditiously and in any event within one month from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before him.
