REGIONAL TRANSPORT AUTHORITY, CIVIL STATION, ERNAKULAM, REPRESENTED BY ITS SECRETARY 682030. BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.MATHEW GEORGE VADAKKEL THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: VK C.K.ABDUL REHIM, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.4262 of 2011 ------------------------------- Dated this the 16th day of February, 2011. J U D G M E N T This writ petition is filed seeking a direction commanding the respondents to register the vehicle mentioned in Ext.P4, attaching Trailor No.AD 680 Q with Tata Prima 4928.S vehicle mentioned in Ext.P6 with a gross vehicle weight of 63,000 kgs. 2. Learned Government Pleader on the basis of instructions submitted that, the 'prime mover' and trailor combination as alleged, has never been produced in the office of the Registering Authority for the purpose of seeking registration. On the other hand, it is contended that the trailor in question was detached from the previous 'prime mover' only with effect from 7.2.2011 and this writ petition was filed on the very next day itself. Therefore the allegation regarding non-registration of the new 'prime mover' with the old trailor, is not correct. It is further stated that, if any application is received for registration, the same 2 W.P.(C).No.4262 of 2011 will be disposed of in accordance with the relevant provisions and in accordance with the relevant notifications issued by the Central Government in this regard. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that, after filing the writ petition the first respondent had accepted registration fees for effecting registration. 4. Under the above mentioned circumstances, I am of the view that the writ petition can be disposed of directing the authority to take a final decision regarding granting of registration as requested by the petitioner, at the earliest, at any rate within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. C.K.ABDUL REHIM, Judge ami/
