THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ WP(C) NO. 18196 OF 2007 - N ------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of June, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a member of the travelling public who is stated to be aggrieved by the change of timings of a stage carriage on account of the proposed variation of the conditions of permit, as requested by the third respondent. 2. I do not think that the petitioner has any locus standi in the matter. If the Regional Transport Officer has to hear all the travelling public of the locality to decide the question as to whether variation of permit conditions of a state carriage can be allowed or not, no application can ever be finally decided. Therefore, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition at the instance of the petitioner. However, now that the petitioner has voiced a grievance stated to be in public interest, the second respondent shall keep this in mind while considering the application submitted by the third respondent. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, Mbs/ Judge WP(C) NO. :-2-: S.SIRI JAGAN, J ------------------------------------ W.P.(C) NO.
