She has applied for a variation of the route by extension of her service from Chattiparamba to Chattiparamba via Chappanangadi, Kooriad, Indianoor, Kottappuram, Aakkaparamb and Chengottur (two circular trips) by curtailment of Chattiparamba-Mundakkode (four trips) on the existing regular route. The variation sought for by the petitioner was initially rejected by the first respondent. The petitioner challenged the order of rejection in MVARP No.277 of 2009, which was allowed by the State Transport Appellate Tribunal (hereinafter referred to as 'the STAT' for short) by order dated 18.12.2009. As per the said order, the STAT granted the permit on the very same route as requested for by the petitioner. The present complaint of the petitioner is that though almost six months have elapsed since the passing of the said order, the permit that has been granted by the STAT has still not been issued. WPC No.17235/2010 2 2. The learned Senior Government Pleader Sri.

In the light of the above submission, this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the matter at the next meeting of the Regional Transport Authority scheduled to be held on 24.6.2010 and to pass appropriate orders in compliance with the directions contained in Ext.P2 order of the STAT.
