ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 31139 OF 2007 F = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 29th October, 2007 J U D G M E N T When his application for regular permit applied for was rejected as per Ext. P1, petitioner challenged the same in appeal before the Tribunal. As per Ext. P2 the Tribunal allowed the appeal and directed the RTA to grant permit subject to settlement of timing. A reading of Ext. P2 shows that the overlapping was found to be not objectionable and that the overlapping of 2.5 k.m. On Kannur-Kasaragod scheme does not exceed 10% of the length of the route applied for. On this basis that was also found to be not objectionable. When the matter stood remitted to the RTA it rejected the application filed by the writ petitioner stating that the permit overlaps the notified area. 2. In my view, the RTA was only called upon to implement Ext. P2 order of the STAT and it was not WPC No.31139/07 -2- expected to sit in judgment over the same. Therefore, quashing Ext. P3, I direct that the RTA shall implement Ext.P2 judgment of the STAT as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within four weeks of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
