P (C) No. 32726 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 10th December, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that the regular permit granted as per Ext. P3 order of the RTA, Kollam has not been issued after settling timings. The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that since a large number of cases for issuing permits are pending, the respondent is settling timings and issuing permit in accordance with the priority of grant of permit. In answer to the same, the petitioner points out that by Ext. P4, a schedule of timing conferences has been fixed in which in the case of the petitioner also, a conference was to be held on 10-11-2009. But, on that day, without assigning any reasons, the timing conference was adjourned. That being so, according to the petitioner, the contention that by convening timing conference in the case of the petitioner, priority would be overlooked is not correct. 2. After hearing both sides, I find merit in the contention of the petitioner. After having fixed the conference on 10-11-2009, there is no point in delaying settling of timings and issuing permit. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to see that timings of the petitioner's permit are settled and permit issued within one month from today. Sd/- S.
