TO JUDGE rs P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ----------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.27528 of 2011 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of October, 2011 JUDGMENT The prayer in this writ petition is for an order directing the respondent to consider Ext.P4 application for renewal of the certificate of fitness in respect of the vehicle bearing registration No.KL-11/A 654 and to grant the same. Ext.P4 discloses that the petitioner has not filled up many of the columns therein which are required to be filled up. The engine number and the chassis number are not given. The place where the vehicle is ordinarily kept is not mentioned. The number of the certificate of fitness and the date of issue or last renewal and the name of the authority who issued the certificate of fitness are not mentioned. It also does not bear a date. In other words, the application has not been completely filled up. The applicant, the Manager of a school should not have adopted such a cavalier attitude in submitting an application for renewal of the fitness certificate of W.P(C).No.27528 of 2011 -:2:- an school bus. As the application has not been completely filled up, I am of the opinion that the respondent is not bound to entertain it as a valid application. Such being the situation, no relief can be granted in the instant writ petition. The writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed without prejudice to the petitioner's right to file a proper application for renewal of the fitness certificate. P.N.RAVINDRAN, Judge. ahg.
