The petitioner is a stage carriage operator who is conducting
services on the route Mundakkode-Muthukurussi with the stage
carriage vehicle bearing registration No.KL-10Y-5879. She has
applied for a variation of the route by extension of her service from
Chattiparamba to Chattiparamba via Chappanangadi, Kooriad,
Indianoor, Kottappuram, Aakkaparamb and Chengottur (two circular
trips) by curtailment of Chattiparamba-Mundakkode (four trips) on
the existing regular route. The variation sought for by the petitioner
was initially rejected by the first respondent. The petitioner
challenged the order of rejection in MVARP No.277 of 2009, which
was allowed by the State Transport Appellate Tribunal (hereinafter
referred to as ‘the STAT’ for short) by order dated 18.12.2009. As
per the said order, the STAT granted the permit on the very same
route as requested for by the petitioner. The present complaint of
the petitioner is that though almost six months have elapsed since
the passing of the said order, the permit that has been granted by
the STAT has still not been issued.

2. The learned Senior Government Pleader Sri. K.C.Santhosh
Kumar on instructions submits that the next meeting of the first
respondent is scheduled to be conducted on 24.6.2010 and that the
matter would be placed before the next meeting of the Regional
Transport Authority.
In the light of the above submission, this writ petition is
disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the matter at
the next meeting of the Regional Transport Authority scheduled to be
held on 24.6.2010 and to pass appropriate orders in compliance with
the directions contained in Ext.P2 order of the STAT.
