HARUN-UL-RASHID, J. ---------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No. 11770 of 2006 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 19th day of January , 2009 JUDGMENT In the appeal filed by the petitioner herein before the the State Transport Appellate Tribunal, it is rightly held that the bus services coming from North Paravur via Goshree Bridges, if allowed to go beyond High Court junction, it will cause congestion on Banerji road and so by way of traffic regulation the services coming through Goshree Bridges are terminating at High Court Junction. It is pointed out by the learned Government Pleader that all buses plying in the route i.e North Paravoor -Ernakulam is restricted up to High Court Junction for the reason that the traffic regulation is necessary beyond High Court Junction. I have no reason to interfere with the order passed by the Tribunal. It is made clear that the authorities can reconsider the question of extending the route beyond High Court junction if at any point of time, in the interest of the traffic rules and general public . With the above observation this writ petition is dismissed. (HARUN-UL-RASHID, JUDGE) es.
