                       ==============
                  W.P.(C) NO. 7443 OF 2009 (A)
                  ====================

            Dated this the 11th day of March, 2009

                          J U D G M E N T

Petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P2, the proceedings of the 1st

respondent adjourning his application for renewal of permit in

respect of Stage Carriage KL-34/2626 on the ground that the

route in question is covered by the draft notification dated

15/9/2008.

2. In several cases of this nature, this Court has taken the

view that if for some reason the RTA is of the view that permit

cannot be renewed, it could have, instead of adjourning the

proceedings as done in Ext.P2, taken a final decision. For this

reason, I see no justification for the view that the RTA has taken in

Ext.P2.

Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the

1st respondent shall take a final decision on the application made

by the petitioner. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible,

at any rate within 8 weeks of production of a copy of this

judgment.

ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE
