SRI.V.V.NANDAGOPAL NAMBIAR, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/10/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 32916 OF 2010 (L) ===================== Dated this the 29th day of October, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner challenges the alleged decision of the KSRTC to shift its bus stand from Palodu to Peringamala. According to the petitioner, bus stand which has been in existence for the last more than 30 years is suddenly being shifted causing inconvenience to the public and therefore the Court should interfere. 2. Learned standing counsel for the KSRTC informs that the land in Peringamala was made available by the Panchayat for the purpose of operating a bus stand. It is stated that complaining that the KSRTC was not making use of the aforesaid land, WP(C) No.12964/10 was filed by the Panchayat. According to him, in that writ petition, this Court passed order dated 27/7/2010 directing the KSRTC to either make use of the land or to return the same to the Panchayat. It is stated that in compliance with this order, the KSRTC has decided to operate a bus stand from Peringamala also. According to him, the question whether the bus stand should be shifted from Palode in its WPC No. 32916/10 :2 : totality, has not so far been decided by the Board of the KSRTC. 3. Thus, from the submissions made by the standing counsel it is obvious that as at present, the KSRTC has not taken any final decision in the matter of the total shifting of the bus stand. The writ petition is therefore premature and is closed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
