Call for the records leading to the case and issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction, directing the RTA, Thiruvananthapuram, Ist respondent to dispose of the applications pending before it on the route Nettayam-Kulathara in the defaulted vacancy of the bus KL/01-D 9953 and render a decision, within a period of 3 weeks. ii. Direct the RTA, Thiruvananthauram, Ist respondent, to report the decision before this Honourable Court on the route Nettayam- Kulathara, within a period of three weeks.” 2 2. From the above, it is obvious that the petitioner seeks only a direction that the RTA should consider the pending applications. I heard the learned Government Pleader also on this and even according to him, the relief sought for by the petitioner is not objectionable and can be considered in the next meeting of the RTA. 3. In view of this, I direct that the pending applications in the route mentioned shall be placed before the RTA in the next meeting to be conducted. It is directed that the matter shall be considered as above and final decision shall be taken, at any rate, within six weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. Writ Petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE vi. 3
