The timings of the petitioner's service were settled in the year 1993. According to the petitioner, the present departure time of the petitioner from Guruvayur-Palakkad is causing a lot of inconvenience for the reason that there is another service that is operating just ahead of the petitioner. The petitioner's departure time from Palakkad towards Guruvayur is also causing inconvenience to him. According to the petitioner, there are vacant timings available for being alloted to the petitioner. A suitable variation of his timings would make it easier for the petitioner to operate his services efficiently. The petitioner has therefore submitted an application for the variation of his permit which is Ext.P1. The complaint of wpc No.7072/2010 2 the petitioner is that no orders have been passed thereon till date. 2. The Government Pleader submits that orders on Ext.P1 would be passed without delay. 3. In the above circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the application of the petitioner for the variation of his timings, evidenced herein by Ext.P1, in accordance with law, 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.
