THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/02/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: prv. K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO.5262 OF 2010 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 18TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a Stage Carriage operator conducting service on the route Thiruvilwamala-Mayyannur-Thrissur-Thanikudam as a limited stop ordinary service with Stage Carriage No.KL-8/Y 1807. According to the petitioner, his vehicle has been replaced by another vehicle, KL-8/L 4149. The petitioner's timings were settled on 30.9.2002. The petitioner contends that at the time of settlement of his timings, Circular No.3/97 was in force and therefore the time stipulated per running km was 2.5 minutes. However, since then, the circular has been set aside by this court and therefore, he has claimed a variation in his running time. Since all the other services are operating with a running time of 2 minutes per km, he has sought parity in running time with the other services. 2. The Government Pleader submits that the request of the petitioner would be considered expeditiously. 3. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of Wpc 5262/2010 2 directing the respondent to consider the request of the petitioner, evidenced herein by Ext.P1, in accordance with law, and to pass appropriate orders thereon, 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.
