~~~~~~~~~~~
The petitioner, who is the registered owner of a stage
carriage bearing Registration No.KL-03/H-640, has filed this
Writ Petition challenging Ext.P2 communication issued by the
Regional Transport Officer, Muvattupuzha. As per Ext.P2, the
petitioner has been informed that the 2nd respondent has filed
objection stating that his vehicle bearing Registration No.
KL-03/H-640 was financed by them while it was under the
ownership of one Sri.Girish Kumar. Since they have initiated
legal proceedings against him for defaulting repayment of the
loan, it has been requested by the 2nd respondent that no
correction in the Registration Certificate may be made. As per
Ext.P2, the Regional Transport Officer has directed the
petitioner to appear for a personal hearing before the said
authority within a period of seven days of receipt of the said
communication.
2. I do not find any reason to interfere with the
proceedings initiated as per Ext.P2. If the petitioner has any
W.P.(C) No.13414/2010 2
objection or explanation to offer, he may do so before the
Regional Transport Officer availing the opportunity that has
been extended to him in Ext.P2. At present, it is sufficient that
the Regional Transport Officer is directed to consider the
contentions of both the petitioner and the 2nd respondent before
taking a final decision in the matter. Final decision as indicated
above, shall be taken expeditiously and at any rate, within a
period two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this
judgment.
The Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
(K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE)
