J U D G M E N T

The limited prayer in this writ petition is for a direction to the respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P2, which was submitted by the petitioner for revision of own timings.

2.

The petitioner is operating on the route between Parassinikkadavu and Payyannur with a set of timings initially fixed on 26.04.2013; and he has been operating without modification. According to him, now, by efflux of time, new services have been introduced, which were allotted running time as per D3 circular taking note of the width of the road. Hence, he filed Ext.P2 application for revision of timings of her service. Aggrieved by the non consideration of Ext.P2 by the respondent, the petitioner has approached this Court. 2.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner
