The petitioner had been issued with a regular permit on the route between Pukkattupady and Fort Kochi in respect of a 2005 model vehicle with a seating capacity of 31 in all. The petitioner alleges that he was dispossessed of the above vehicle and he could not apply for renewal of the permit within the time prescribed. Now, he purchased a 2007 model vehicle with a seating capacity of 33 in all and filed separate applications for renewal of permit and replacement of vehicle. As the route has fallen vacant and the proposed incoming vehicle is not covered by any permit, he submitted Ext.P3
