JUDGMENT

The petitioner has filed an application for regular permit as per Ext.P1 dated 06.01.2015. The consideration of the application was adjourned and the petitioner has now filed an application for temporary permit by Ext.P2. The petitioner only seeks consideration of, at least the temporary permit application. Even when temporary permit applications are considered, necessarily the timings would have to be settled; otherwise there would be clash with the other rival operators operating in the area. In such circumstances, necessarily time has to be granted to the authorities to settle the timings before a grant is made especially in the case of temporary permit application in consequence of pending regular permit application. The learned Government Pleader also points out that, the RTA

WP(C).867/15 would also have to make necessary enquiries with respect to any violation as to a notified route.

2. In such circumstances, the temporary permit application shall be considered with due notice in the notice Board of the Secretary, RTA and if decided to be granted, timings settled as expeditiously as possible. Needless to say, on settlement of timings, temporary permit shall also be issued expeditiously.

Writ petition disposed of.
