THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/08/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 23783 OF 2008 F = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 7th day of August 2008 J U D G M E N T The complaint of the petitioner who is a stage carriage operator is that the 3rd respondent, a Co-operative Society is being granted successive temporary permit without any temporary need. In my view, the petitioner being a rival operator, lacking locus standi to object to grant of a regular permit, cannot also have a locus standi to challenge grant of temporary permit as well. 2. Whether there was temporary need justifying grant of temporary permit or not, is a matter for the authority concerned to examine as and when application is made for that purpose. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
