THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/05/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: prv. K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.16308 of 2010 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 27th day of May, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a stage carriage operator conducting services on the route Uruvanchal-Kannur-Kozhikode as a Limited Stop Ordinary Service with stage carriage vehicle bearing Reg.No.KL-58/A 5787. The timings of the petitioner were settled at the time of issuing the regular permit to him. At present, the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation ('KSRTC' for short) has introduced services with the same timings as the petitioner. Other services have also been introduced on the route resulting in a reduction in the time gap that was available to the petitioner to operate his services. As a result, it has become difficult for the petitioner to operate his services smoothly. The petitioner has therefore submitted Ext.P1 request for the revision of his timings in a suitable manner. He complains that no orders have been passed thereon till date. The learned Senior Government Pleader has no objection to appropriate directions being issued to wpc No.16308/2010 2 expedite matters. In the above circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the request of the petitioner for the revision of his own timings evidenced herein by Ext.P1 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
