JUDGMENT

The petitioner seeks interchange of timings granted in routes in which the petitioner is operating two stage carriages bearing registration Nos.KL-13/M 7119 and KL10/R 1085, on the route Manjeri - Tirur. It is contended that subsequent to the allotment of timings to the petitioner, several other services were introduced in the same sector and the timings of several services have also been changed and, therefore, the petitioner submitted Ext.P1 request for revision of timings of her services. It is submitted that, last revision of timings of the petitioner's services was in the year 2002 and 1997 respectively. Petitioner prays for an expeditious consideration of her application.
