JUDGMENT
The petitioner is the registered owner of stage carriage bearing registration No.KL-10 Y 1176. It was covered by Ext.P1 temporary permit for a period from 16.12.2014 to 15.4.2015. The petitioner has made Ext.P2 application before the respondent for re-issuance of temporary permit. Now the grievance of the petitioner is that Ext.P2 application is still pending consideration before the respondent. Therefore the petitioner seeks an order directing the respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders within a time limit that may be fixed by this Court.
2.
Heard the arguments of the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for the respondent. 3.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Writ Petition is disposed of as follows:- If Ext.P2 application for temporary permit is still pending consideration before the respondent and that vacancy is still in existence, there will be a direction to the respondent to issue
W.P.(C).No.12789 of 2015 temporary permit for the period of four months duration to the petitioner within a period of three weeks from the production of a copy of this judgment, if there is no legal impediment in granting the same, by passing appropriate orders on Ext.P2 application. Needless to say the re-issuance of temporary permit will be subject to preference of affected persons, if any.
ANIL K.NARENDRAN, JUDGE skj
