TO JUDGE ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 20286 OF 2008 M ==================== Dated this the 15th day of July, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner complains that though permit was granted, since timing conference has not been convened, the permit has not been issued so far. Ext.P1 is the grant. According to him, in view of the delay in convening the timing conference, he should be given temporary permit until his regular permit is issued. 2. I am not in a position to accept that plea of the petitioner. Reason is that by Ext.P3 judgment rendered on 16th of June, 2008, this Court has already directed the Secretary to convene the timing conference, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 8 weeks of production of a copy of that judgment. Admittedly, the period specified in that judgment has not expired so far. At this stage, this court will not be justified in presuming delay on the part of the authorities and granting the relief that is sought for. Writ petition is dismissed ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
