JUDGMENT
First petitioner is a registered owner of the stage
carriage bearing registration No.KA 19/AC 1069 which is
stated to be covered with a regular interstate permit on
the route Mangalore-Kasargode, and second petitioner is
the registered owner of the stage carriage bearing
registration No.KA 19/AC 9531 with an interstate permit
on the route Mangalore-Kazargode. According to the
petitioners, interstate permit is being issued subject to
the payment of tax to the Government of Karnataka as well
as the Government of Kerala. But the permits are not
included in the interstate agreement in question when
they had come up for renewal. Petitioners submit that if
the permits are included in the interstate agreement
between the State of Karnataka and State of Kerala, then
hey would be in a position to continue to operate the
vehicle on the interstate permit. A similar matter has
been considered by this Court in Ext.P4 judgment.
