                         J U D G M E N T

Petitioner is the registered owner of a stage carriage

bearing Reg.No.KL-5T 4529 operating on the route

Vaikom-Punalur. Petitioner submits that Exhibit-P1

regular permit was issued and the said permit has been

noted as ‘limited stop fast passenger’ service.

Petitioner submits that there is no service as ‘limited stop

fast passenger’ currently or otherwise contemplated

under the Kerala Motor Vehicles Rules. Therefore, their

service should be treated as fast passenger service as per

Rule 2(3a) of the Kerala Motor Vehicles Rules. Exhibit P3

application is to be considered by the Secretary, Regional

Transport Authority.

Having heard the learned Government Pleader also,

the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent

to consider whether the request made by the petitioner in

Exhibit P3 is only for a correction of an error and if so,

the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

compliance.
