TO JUDGE. svs P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ---------------------------------------------- WP (C) No. 17803 of 2011 ----------------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of November, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a stage carriage operator operating a stage carriage service on the route North Paravur - Kaloor on the strength of a regular permit. The time schedule of the petitioner's stage carriage was settled on 24.2.2011. Shortly thereafter he submitted Ext.P7 representation seeking a revision of the time schedule by rearranging the trips. This writ petition was filed seeking a direction to the respondent to pass expeditious orders on Ext.P7 representation. The petitioner has along with I.A.No.18925 of 2011 produced Ext.P8 letter dated 22.8.2011 sent by the respondent to the petitioner directing him to furnish a new set of timings for the purpose of considering Ext.P7 application. It is stated that pursuant there to the petitioner has submitted Ext.P9 representation dated 18.11.2011 proposing a set of timings. It is thus evident from the materials on record that the respondent is considering Ext.P7 representation. In such circumstances, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondent to take a final WP(C)No. 17803 of 2011 -2- decision on the request made by the petitioner on Ext.P7 in the light of Ext.P9 and take an appropriate decision thereon expeditiously and in any event within two months from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before him.
