J U D G M E N T

The petitioner has come up before this Court for a direction to the respondent to consider Ext.P1 application for temporary permit in the light of Ext.P3 judgment. 2.

The petitioner alleges that the registered owner of stage carriage bearing Reg.No.KL 13/P 6501 operating on the route, Panoor - Valad - Manandhavady - Thalassery - Kannur has abandoned the route and there is vacant timing and nobody else is operating on the said route. According to the petitioner, there is particular temporary need of granting permit under Section 87(1)(C) of the Motor Vehicles Act; and therefore, he applied for temporary permit, for which he offered stage carriage bearing Reg.No.KL 13/AA 8699. As the respondent has not granted and issued a temporary permit till date, the petitioner has approached this Court.

W.P.(C) No. 17884 of 2015 ..2..

3.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader in the matter. Considering the nature of the prayer, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P1 in the light of Ext.P3 judgment within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. To facilitate an early action, the petitioner shall be at liberty to produce a copy of this judgment as well as a copy of this writ petition along with a copy of Ext.P1 application and Ext.P3 judgment before the respondent at the earliest.
