===================== W.P.(C) No.5837 of 2015 - D ====================== Dated this the 27th day of February, 2015

J U D G M E N T

The petitioner is a regular permit holder, whose permit is valid up to 09.10.2016. The petitioner's replacement application was rejected and the petitioner had moved the Tribunal, which set aside the rejection and remanded the matter for fresh consideration. While the matter was pending, the petitioner was issued with a temporary permit at Ext.P7, which is valid till 27.02.2015. He seeks only re-issuance of such temporary permit. If there is no other legal impediment, there is no reason why the re-issuance shall not be considered, and the permit shall be issued expeditiously at any rate, within a period of one week from today.

The writ petition is disposed of.
