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.

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.
