SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO: 21009 OF 2010 A ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd July, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner is the registered owner of a stage carriage vehicle bearing registration No: KL-6D 6413 conducting services on the route Kambilikandam-Bisonvalley on the basis of a settled set of timings settled on 20/11/2007. According to the petitioner, subsequent to the settlement of his timings, a number of new services have been introduced on the route, drastically reducing the time gap with which he had been operating his services. Consequently, it has become impossible for the petitioner to conduct his services in a smooth and efficient manner. Therefore, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P3 request to the respondent seeking the revision of his own timings. He complains that no orders have been passed thereon till date. 2. Notice has been served on the respondent. The learned senior Govt. Pleader Mr. Muhammed Hashim submits that the petitioner's application has been received only on 7/7/2010 and that the same can be disposed of only on the basis of priority since other applications containing similar requests are pending. WPC 21009/2010 2 3. 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.P3 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, observing the priority of the petitioner's application among other similar applications.
