JUDGMENT

The petitioner, on the basis of the restriction brought in for variation of Fast Passenger Services, has applied for a variation to operate the service as Limited Stop Ordinary Service (LSOS) which variation would fall outside the scope of the restriction. Ext.P5 application for variation hence, shall be considered, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the KSRTC also. In the meanwhile, the temporary permit application, Ext.P7, shall also be considered again after hearing the KSRTC, within a period of two weeks from today. Conversion shall definitely, be subject to the result of the challenge against the restriction to Fast Passenger Services, pending before this Court.

The writ petition is disposed of.
