JUDGMENT

The 1st petitioner is a regular stage carriage permit holder of vehicle bearing registration No.KL-34 A 1258 on the route Chempakappara-Changanacherry and the 2nd petitioner is operating on the said route. It is contended that subsequent to the allotment of timings to the petitioners, several other services were introduced in the same sector and the timings of several services have also been changed and, therefore, the petitioners submitted Ext.P4 request for revision of timings of their service. It is submitted that, last revision of timings of the petitioner was in the year 1999. Petitioners pray for an expeditious consideration of Ext.P4 application.

2. If Ext.P4 application has been received
