WP(C).NO.16103 OF 2010 ............................................

KL-13/Q 5009 and KL-59/A 2023 operating on the routes Thalipara - Thrissur and Kanhangad - Thrissur, which are similar routes. According to the petitioners, they are father and daughter and both the services are being run under the management of the father. According to the petitioners, the timings of their services were settled years back. Subsequent to the settlement of their timings, a number of new services have been introduced on the route, thereby reducing the time gap with which they had been conducting their services. At the same time, several permits on the route have been surrendered resulting in the existence of vacant timings. In the above circumstances, it is submitted that by making suitable revision in their timings, it would be possible for the petitioners to operate their services more conveniently and to the better benefit of the travelling public. They have jointly submitted a request Wpc 16103/2010 2 for the revision of their timings which is pending consideration of the respondent. The petitioners seek appropriate directions for an early disposal of their applications. The learned Senior Government Pleader has no objection to such a direction being issued. 2. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the request of the petitioners for the revision of their own timings, evidenced herein by Ext.P5, in accordance with law, and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
