J U D G M E N T

Aggrieved by the non issue of regular and temporary permits, the petitioner has come up before this Court. 2.

The petitioner alleges that the RTA had already granted regular permit to the petitioner. According to the her, issue of permit is highly beneficial to the travelling public, especially, the students on the route; and there is no justification for non-issue of the granted permit. The petitioner alleges that she had already produced the records of the vehicle and requested to issue the granted permit. According to the petitioner, on account of the nonconvening of timing conference, the permit is not yet issued. She further alleges that there is no impediment in issuing regular permit with the proposed set of timing; and after that, the Secretary can settle the timings with respect to the objection raised by the existing operators. Hence, the petitioner has approached this Court.

W.P.(C) No. 20959 of 2015 ..2..

3.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader in the matter. 4.

As the grievance of the petitioner is the non-convening of the timing conference, this Court is of the view that the writ petition can be disposed of directing the respondent to convene a timing conference within a period of three weeks.

Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to convene a timing conference to settle the timings of the petitioner's stage carriage within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment after affording the petitioner and the affected parties an opportunity of being heard. The entire exercise shall be completed within the aforesaid time schedule. To facilitate an early action, the petitioner shall be at liberty to produce a copy of this judgment before the respondent at the earliest.
