Ext.P1 is an order passed by the RTA declining curtailment applied

for by the petitioner on the ground that if allowed it will adversely affect

the travelling public. Yet another reason stated is one of overlapping. It is

seen that against Ext.P1, appeal was filed before the Tribunal and that was

rejected by Ext.P3. The Tribunal has gone through the files and confirmed

the finding that if allowed, the curtailment will adversely affect the

travelling public. Nothing is produced to indicate that the reasoning of the

Tribunal is perverse and in such circumstances, this court will not be

justified in upsetting the factual findings concurrently rendered by the

authorities.

Writ petition fails and is dismissed.

ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE.
