W.P.(C).No.26342/2008
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dated this the 2nd day of September, 2008
JUDGMENT
What is actually sought for by the petitioner is
implementation of Ext.P1.
2. By this judgment, the appeal filed by the petitioner
before the STAT was allowed and the RTA was directed to
reconsider the application of the petitioner for a regular
permit, in case the petitioner files a modified proposal
avoiding the objectionable overlapping on the notified route,
within a period of one month from the date of the judgment.
The date of the judgment being 29.2.2008, the petitioner
submits that Ext.P2 modified proposal was submitted on
17.3.2008. According to the petitioner though this modified
proposal has been made, the RTA has not so far considered
Ext.P2 and pass orders thereon. It is at this stage the writ
2
petition has been filed.
3. In the background as stated above, I have no reason
to deny the prayer made by the petitioner for directing the
first respondent to take up, consider and pass orders on
Ext.P2, if the same is pending.
Therefore the writ petition is disposed of directing that
the first respondent shall take up, consider and pass orders
on Ext.P2 as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within
8 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the
judgment. This shall be done with notice to the affected
parties.
