THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 14255 OF 2004 DATE: 29.07.2010 Between: APSRTC., Rep. by its Managing Director, Musheerabad, Hyderabad ..... PETITIONER AND The State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Manoranjan Complex, Hyderabad and others .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 14255 OF 2004 ORDER : This writ petition is filed seeking a certiorari to call for the records relating to the order dated 12.03.2004 made in R.P.No.153 of 2003 on the file of the State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and to quash the same being arbitrary and illegal. Heard the learned counsel for both the parties and perused the material available on record. The 3rd respondent herein, who is a bus operator in Anantapur District, filed an application dated 12.06.2002 before the 2nd respondent requesting to grant revision of existing timings in respect of the stage carriage No. AP 02 V 3204 covered by permit No.72/50 operating on the route Tollapalle to Amalapuram. After hearing all the parties concerned, the 2nd respondent by order dated 07.04.2003 rejected the 3rd respondent’s request for revision of timings. Aggrieved by the same, the 3rd respondent preferred R.P.No.153 of 2003 before the State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad. By order dated 12.03.2004 the Tribunal had allowed the revision in part by setting aside the 2nd respondent’s order and directing the 2nd respondent to allow the 3rd respondent herein to depart his bus from Madakasira at 4.20 PM and to arrive at 5.30 PM and departure from Hindupur at 6.10 PM. The 3rd respondent was also allowed to depart his bus at 8 A.M from Bagepalli and 6.10 P.M from Hindupur. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition has been filed by the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation. As could be seen from the material available on record, the Corporation opposed the revised timings proposed by the 3rd respondent i.e., 7.35 P.M and 6 P.M at Bagepalli and Hindupur on the ground that they would affect the Corporation’s services which depart at 7.45 PM and 6.15 P.M. from Bagepalli and Hindupur respectively. Though the 3rd respondent had rejected the 3rd respondent’s request for revising the timings without assigning any reasons, the Tribunal below after considering the contentions, thought it fit to permit the 3rd respondent to revise the timings with certain modifications. After hearing the learned counsel for both the parties, I do not find any justifiable reason to interfere with the order under challenge which does not suffer from any error of jurisdiction or error of law apparent on the face of the record. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. _____________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 29.07.2010 Ivd
