SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO: 1086 OF 2010 I ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd March, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner is a stage carriage operator conducting services with a stage carriage vehicle bearing registration No: KL-7AA 1287. He is operating services on the route Ernakulam-Guruvayur on the strength of a regular permit valid till 22.11.2011. His timings were settled in the year 2005. According to him the first respondent is about to revise the timings of the second respondent who is another operator conducting service on the route Kozhikode- Ernakulam, without any justification. The petitioner therefore objected to the notification dated 13.5.2009 that was published for the purpose. The complaint of the petitioner is that without considering his objections, the timings of the second respondent are about to be revised. Therefore, he seeks appropriate directions for the consideration of his objections also while settling the timings of the second respondent. The Govt. Pleader assures me that the objections of the petitioner would also be considered while taking a decision on the second respondent's request. 2. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider Ext.P3 objections WPC 1086/2010 2 submitted by the petitioner also while settling the timings of the second respondent that is sought to be revised as per Ext.R2(a) request. The above shall be done in a timing conference after issuing notice to the petitioner as well as all other interested persons. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at the next timing conference and at any rate within a period of two months. K. SURENDRA MOHAN Judge jj WPC 1086/2010 3 K.K.DENESAN & V.
