TO JUDGE ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 26285 OF 2008 D ==================== Dated this the 5th day of September, 2008 J U D G M E N T By Ext.P2, request for transfer of stage carriage bearing Regn.No. KL-13/A 829 was allowed by the 1st respondent. However, the consequential endorsement has not been made and according to the petitioner, the reason is that since adjudication on G Form is yet to be finalised, and therefore, the 2nd respondent is refusing to make endorsements. 2. Yet another grievance that is highlighted by the counsel is that consequent on the non endorsement of the transfer as above, replacement which the transferee wants, is also getting delayed. 3. In my view, the whole issue can be resolved, if the 2nd respondent adjudicates on Ext.P2 G form stated to have been filed by the petitioner. Depending upon the outcome of the adjudication, it is for the 2nd respondent to pass orders, consequent to Ext.P1 order of the 1st respondent allowing transfer and thereafter make appropriate endorsements. It is only thereafter can the request of the transferee for replacement can also be considered. Therefore, the writ petition is WPC 26285/08 :2 : disposed of with the following directions. i) That the 2nd respondent shall complete adjudication following Ext.P2 G form if the same has been received and is pending. ii) This shall be done as expeditiously as possible and depending upon the order to be passed, necessary action consequent to Ext.P1 shall also be completed. Thereafter, Ext.P3 will also be considered and orders passed. iii) The adjudication on G forms shall be completed, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment and thereafter the whole process shall be completed within 6 weeks thereafter. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
