JUDGMENT

The petitioner is seeking a direction to the respondent for revision of timings of his own service operating on the route between Kannur Hospital and Pera via Perukunnuthara. 2.

The writ petition is one filed mainly for a direction to consider Ext.P1 request submitted by the petitioner. The petitioner alleges that the said request was filed by the petitioner as early as on 4.3.2015. The main reason stated for the revision of timings of the petitioner's own service is introduction of new services and unhealthy competition. Though the petitioner approached the office of the respondent on many occasions, the prayer of the petitioner fell in deaf ears; it is alleged. It is with this background, the petitioner has come up before this Court.

I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader in the matter.

W.P.(C) No.20832 of 2015 -2Considering the nature of the submissions and the nature of the relief sought for, the writ petition is disposed of directing respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P1, after affording the petitioner and the other affected operators, on opportunity of being heard, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. To facilitate an early action, it shall be open to the petitioner to produce a copy of the writ petition as well as the copy of this judgment before the respondent at the earliest. Sd/- A.V.
