Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal Order On Board By 03/04/2019

1. Heard on admission.

2. By way of this petition, the Petitioner is praying for issuance of direction commanding Respondent No. 2/Regional Transport Authority, Raipur to consider and decide the petitioner's application for revised time table.

3. Ms. Rashul Bhawnani, learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that the application has been made by the petitioner on 01.11.2018 for revised time table, however, Respondent No. 2 has neither published the said application in its agenda nor any notice has been issued to the

Petitioner regarding disposal of his application and as such, Respondent No. 2 has failed to perform its statutory duty as provided under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Owning to which, the Petitioner's vehicle is not only lying without permit but also causing immense financial loss to him day by day.

4. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and considering further the pendency of the Petitioner's application dated 01.11.2018 for revised time table, I am inclined to allow this application. Accordingly, It is directed that Respondent No. 2/Regional Transport Authority, Raipur shall decide the said application for revised time table as mentioned in the said application within a period of five weeks from receiving the certified copy of this order and communicate its decision immediately thereafter to the Petitioner. The Petitioner shall serve the copy of this order before the concerned authority within a period of two weeks from today.

5. The petition is, accordingly, disposed of. Sd/- Sanjay K. Agrawal Jyoti Judge
