GOVT.PLEADER SMT.SUDHADEVI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/01/2009,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 36353 OF 2008 (C) ==================== Dated this the 12th day of January, 2009 J U D G M E N T The challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P2, by which an application made for transfer of stage carriage KL-11/Q.1202 was adjourned. A reading of Ext.P2 shows that the application made for transfer of the vehicle in his favour was by the power of attorney holder on the strength of Ext.P1 power of attorney. The respondent entertained doubt regarding the bonafides of the request for transfer and it was therefore that the matter was adjourned. On going through Ext.P2, I am not persuaded to say that the doubt entertained by the RTA was totally erroneous. In view of this, I am not inclined to interfere with Ext.P2. 2. However, it is clarified that Ext.P2 will not stand in the way of the registered owner and the transferee making a joint application for transfer, in which case, the 1st respondent shall consider the same in accordance with law. Counsel for the petitioner submits that such an application has been filed and that the same is pending. If this submission is correct, I direct the RTA to take action on such an application that is filed. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
