It is the case of the petitioner that the regular permit holder is not operating the route Kanjar - Thodupuzha via Anakkayam, Inchiyani, Anchiri and Karikode. Thus, the petitioner filed Ext.P1 application, seeking regular permit on the same route. He is the owner of a tax paid idle vehicle bearing registration number KL-04-K-4919. The regular permit is pending consideration and in the meanwhile, the petitioner filed Ext.P2 application, for the grant of temporary permit for the above vehicle bearing registration number KL-04-K4919. According to the petitioner, the said route passes through the ill served rural areas and the granting of temporary permit to him is beneficial to the interest of
