(TRUE COPY) P.A TO JUDGE ANTONY DOMINIC, J ------------------- W.P.(C).33621/2007 -------------------- Dated this the 1st day of December, 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioner had applied to the RTA, Malappuram, for renewal of permit by submitting Ext.P2 application. On the application, RTA, Kozhikode granted concurrence by Ext.P3. While so, the petitioner submitted Ext.P4 application to RTA, Malappuram, for replacing the vehicle and this was considered by the RTA in the meeting held on 7.8.2007. By Ext.P5, Secretary was again directed to obtain concurrence of RTA, Kozhikode. Obviously this was without reference to Ext.P3 whereby concurrence had already been received by RTA, Malappuram. 2. In the light of the submissions that concurrence has already been obtained by Ext.P3, it is only appropriate to direct the respondents to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 application for renewal and Ext.P4 for replacement. 3. Accordingly, I direct the respondents to consider Exts.P2 and P4 applications and pass orders as W.P.(C).33621/2007 2 expeditiously as possible at any rate within a period of eight weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment.
