The petitioner contends that the variation as allowed by the State Transport Appellate Tribunal by Exhibits P6 and P7 will adversely affect the interest of the residents in the locality. Exhibits P6 and P7 were passed as early as in August 2005. There is no explanation for the inordinate delay in filing this writ petition. That apart even according to the petitioner based on Exhibits P6 and P7, varied permits have already been issued. If so, this writ petition cannot be entertained and relief as sought for could not be granted. 2. However, if there is no bus service in the area as a result the students and the general public are adversely affected, they can approach the RTA for redressal of their grievance. With the above observation, this writ petition is dismissed. P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE Rp
