IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE C.T.RAVIKUMAR THURSDAY, THE 9TH SEPTEMBER 2010 / 18TH BHADRA 1932 WP(C).No. 26967 of 2010(U) ---------------------------------------- PETITIONER(S): ---------------------- THAHIRA BEEVI, 3/560, SHABEER MANZIL, MANGARAM P.O., KONNI, PATHANAMTHITTA. BY ADV. SRI.O.D.SIVADAS RESPONDENT(S): -------------------------- THE SECRETARY, REGIONAL TRANSPORT AUTHORITY, PATHANAMTHITTA. GOVERNMENT PLEADER MR. K.C. SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/09/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------------- W.P. (C) NO.26967 OF 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of September, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner who is the owner of stage carriage No.KL 3/N 9923 operating on the route Kummannoor-Pathanamthitta submitted an application for renewal of regular permit on 27.09.2010. Pending consideration of the same, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P4 application for temporary permit under Section 81(1)(d) of the Motor Vehicles Act. Attributing delay in the matter of submission of application for renewal of regular permit no decision has been taken on Ext.P4 application. The question is whether the refusal to pass orders on application for temporary permit in such circumstances is legal and sustainable in law. Evidently, the said question has been considered by this Court in Ext.P6 judgment. As per Ext.P6 judgment the concerned authority was directed to consider the application for temporary permit. I find no reason to take a different view. In that view of the matter, I cannot find any justification in the action on the respondent. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to consider Ext.P4 application in W.P. (C) NO.26967 OF 2010 2 accordance with law and pass orders thereon within 10 days. This writ petition is disposed of accordingly. C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE. mns
