K.C.SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J. --------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 16932 OF 2010 -------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a stage carriage operator. He was conducting service on the route Guruvayur-Kuttippuram with stage carriage vehicle bearing registration No.KL-10M 9054. The permit expired on 12.3.2009. The petitioner had applied for the renewal of his permit as per an application dated 18.2.2009. The application for renewal came up for consideration before the Regional Transport Authority, Palakkad on 22.3.2010. Some persons objected to the grant of renewal to the petitioner contending that he had not obtained counter signature of the sister authorities. Thereupon, the matter was adjourned as per Ext.P1 proceedings directing the Secretary to verify the genuineness of the allegations and to place the matter again before the authority. The complaint of the petitioner is that the matter has not been considered thereafter. He therefore seeks appropriate directions for the consideration of his renewal application, expeditiously. I have heard the learned senior Government Pleader, who has no objection to such a direction being issued. WPC No.16932/2010 2 In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the application for renewal submitted by the petitioner on 18.2.2009, adjourned as per Ext.P1 proceedings dated 22.3.2010, and to pass appropriate orders thereon 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.
