BY SENIOR GP K C SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO.13719 OF 2010 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 2nd DAY OF JUNE, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner complains that the delay in considering Ext.P2 application submitted by him is causing needless delay and hardship to him. The petitioner is plying an autorickshaw on the strength of Ext.P1 permit issued to him. The halting place mentioned in Ext.P1 is Kodoor which is a panchayat area, where the petitioner is not able to obtain sufficient trips. Therefore, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P2 application seeking a change in his halting place to Malappuram Municipality. According to the petitioner, there are no sufficient autorickshaws in the said area and therefore shifting of his halting place would be beneficial to the travelling public also. He has produced Exts.P3 and P4 in support of his application. The counsel for the petitioner seeks appropriate directions for the disposal of Ext.P2 on an early date. The learned Senior Government Pleader has no objection to such a direction being issued. 2. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of Wpc 13719/2010 2 directing the respondent to consider the application of the petitioner, evidenced herein by Ext.P2, in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible, and at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
