JUDGMENT

Only a holder of vehicle can apply for replacement of the vehicle (See Judgment in Usman vs. Regional Transport Authority (2015 (4) KLT 25)). The regular permit has ceased to be in operation by virtue of the judgment in W.P(C) No.26048/2014. Therefore there cannot be any direction to consider Ext.P2 application for replacement. The prayer in that regard is totally misconceived.

The writ petition is dismissed.
