DATTU, CJ. & K. M. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P(C). NO. 12560 OF 2008 --------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 10th April, 2008 JUDGMENT H.L. DATTU, C.J: The Writ Petition filed by the petitioner, in our opinion, is only premature. The petitioner contends that the proposed grant of Rs.700 crores for rehabilitation package of Kerala State Road Transport Corporation in the Budget Speech for 2008-2009 and write off Rs.153 crores for rehabilitation of KSRTC is against public interest and that the decision of the Government is illegal and arbitrary. Pursuant to the Budget Speech, nothing has been done by the State Government so far. Therefore, at this stage, it may not be proper for us to entertain the Writ Petition. Accordingly, it is rejected for the present. Ordered accordingly. H.L. DATTU, CHIEF JUSTICE K.M. JOSEPH, kbk/DK. JUDGE WPC 2
