TO JUDGE ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 15443 OF 2008 L ==================== Dated this the 7th day of July, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that Ext.P1 is an application for renewal of a regular permit. It is stated that along with Ext.P1, Ext.P2 application for condoning delay has also been filed. While orders are awaited on Exts. P1 and P2, petitioner submitted Ext.P4 application for a temporary permit and in this writ petition what is sought for is that the respondent should be directed to pass final orders on Ext.P4 temporary permit application. 2. Learned Government Pleader rightly points out that the whole thing will depend upon the decision of the 1st respondent on Ext.P2 petition for condonation of delay. According to him, it is only thereafter can an application for renewal of regular permit be said to be pending. I am inclined to agree with the learned Government Pleader. 3. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of with the following directions. 1) That within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, a decision on Ext.P2 shall be taken. WPC 15443/08 :2 : 2) Once decision on Ext.P2 is taken as above, within 2 weeks thereafter, a decision on Ext.P4 application for temporary permit shall also be taken. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
