           Dated this the 3rd day of February, 2011

                            JUDGMENT

The petitioner is operating a stage carriage on the route

Kozhikode-Parappanangadi via. Manjeri and Malappuram as per

the time schedule settled way back in the year 1997. On account

of introduction of other services and other changes in

circumstances, the petitioner has filed Ext.P1 application dated

5.1.2011 before the respondent for revision of the time schedule.

The grievance voiced by the petitioner is that till date orders have

not been passed on Ext.P1 application. In this writ petition, the

petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent to consider the

request in Ext.P1 application and to take an appropriate decision

thereon within a time limit to be fixed by this Court.

2. Sri.Basant Balaji, the learned Government Pleader

appearing for the respondent submits that if Ext.P1 application

has been received and is pending, the respondent will consider

the same and take an expeditious decision thereon, in accordance

with law, after notice to the other existing operators.

W.P(C).No.3508 of 2011
-:2:-

In the light of the said submission, I dispose of the

writ petition with a direction to the respondent to consider Ext.P1

application and take an appropriate decision thereon in accordance

with law, if it has been received and is pending, expeditiously and

in any event within two months from the date on which the

petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before him

after notice to the petitioner and other stage carriage operators

who will be affected by the change of timings sought by the

petitioner.

P.N.RAVINDRAN,
Judge.
