RTA then proceeded to grant a permit subject to certain conditions. Matter was again taken up before the Tribunal and by Ext.P1 judgment, Tribunal directed to grant temporary permits till regular permit is granted. Accordingly, petitioner is now operating on a temporary permit which expires on 2.6.2009, it is contended. The application for re-issuance of the temporary permit, Ext.P4, is pending before the second respondent. This writ petition has been filed praying for a direction to pass orders on Ext.P4. W.P.(C).14623/2009 2 2. I heard learned Government Pleader also. Since the Tribunal has already directed temporary permits to be granted, till a regular permit is issued, respondents are bound to obey the same. 3. Accordingly, second respondent shall proceed to pass orders on Ext.P4 keeping in mind Ext.P3, as early as possible, in such a manner that the service operated by the petitioner is not disrupted by reason of the lapse of the temporary permit.
