JUDGMENT The petitioner who is the holder of a regular permit on the route Kattappana-Kavanattinkara in respect of stage carriage bearing registration No: KL-06/E 422 has filed an application for variation of the conditions of his permit, which is Ext.P1. Ext.P1 application was considered by the first respondent at its meeting held on 20/5/2010. But, without passing final orders on Ext.P1, the application was adjourned seeking a report from the second respondent. Since two months have elapsed thereafter, the petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking appropriate directions for the consideration of Ext.P1 on an early date. The learned senior Govt. Pleader has no objection to such a direction being issued. 2. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider Ext.P1 application in accordance with law, after obtaining the report that is called for by Ext.P2 and after considering Ext.P1 in accordance with law. Orders as indicated above shall be passed 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. K. SURENDRA MOHAN Judge jj 2 3
