J U D G M E N T

The petitioner seeks clearance certificate in respect of his vehicle being operated on the basis of a valid route permit. Ext.P5 application put in by the petitioner in this regard shall be dealt with by the respondent within two weeks.

2. Such clearance certificate can be granted without insisting on the surrender of the existing regular permit in respect of the vehicle. It shall however be ensured that all dues to the Government including check reports and also to the Kerala Motor Transport Workers Welfare Fund Board are satisfied.

3. The respondent shall also specify the period within which the petitioner shall replace the vehicle on the route covered by the permit. This is because the vehicle now in use requires to be replaced by another to resume operations on the route covered by the permit.

The Writ Petition is disposed of.

Sd/- V.CHITAMBARESH, Judge.
