JUDGMENT

The petitioner is seeking a direction to the respondent to issue a substitute temporary permit for 4 months to the petitioner in the vacant timings of the stage carriage KL-10-R6135 in the light of Ext.P1 application submitted by him. 2.

The petitioner is the registered owner of the stage carriage bearing registration No.KL-13-L-8358. The Regional Transport Authority, Malappuram has granted a regular permit in respect of stage carriage KL-10-R-6135 to operate between Valanchery and Tirur and the permit holder is not operating service on the above route and therefore, there exists a vacancy. In the said circumstances, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P1 application for four months temporary permit in the vacant timings of stage carriage KL-10-R-6135. But the respondent has not so far considered Ext.P1 application. 3.

I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner

W.P.(C) No.15442 of 2015 -2and the learned Government Pleader in the matter. As the limited prayer in this writ petition is only for a direction to the respondent to consider Ext.P1, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P1 application within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording the petitioner an opportunity of being heard. It is open to the petitioner to produce a copy of the judgment and a copy of this writ petition before the respondent to facilitate an early action.
