THE SECRETARY, REGIONAL TRANSPORT AUTHORITY,KOTTAYAM. BY GOVT. PLEADER SMT. SUDHA DEVI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. ----------------------- W.P.(C).No.3620 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 4th day of February, 2009. JUDGMENT Petitioner's application for renewal regular permit in respect of his stage carriage bearing registration No.KL-7/X 2673 was considered by the first respondent and by Ext.P1 proceedings the same was adjourned. It is aggrieved by this order that this writ petition is filed. A reading of Ext.P1 shows that, in view of the provisions contained in the notification dated 15.9.2008, that the proceedings were adjourned. If the RTA is satisfied that the permit is not liable to be issued in view of the provisions in the notification, the RTA should have passed final orders in this behalf, instead of adjourning as was done. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the RTA to pass final orders on the application made by the /2/ petitioner for renewal of regular permit, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 8 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment.
