                 W.P.(C) No.8179 of 2010
             -------------------------------------------
         Dated this the 12th day of March, 2010

                          JUDGMENT

The petitioner is a stage carriage operator

conducting services on the route Kumaranellur-Guruvayur

with a stage carriage vehicle KL-54/9290 on the strength

of a regular permit. His timings were settled on

11.7.2007. According to the petitioner, a number of new

services have been introduced on the route in question

after his timings were settled thereby reducing the time

gap with which the petitioner had been operating.

Consequently, frequent clashes with the timings of other

operators occur. Therefore, the petitioner has submitted a

request for a suitable revision of his own timings. His

complaint is that no orders have been passed on his

request till date. The petitioner therefore seeks

appropriate directions for an early disposal of Ext.P1

request.

2. The learned Government Pleader has no objection

to such a direction being issued.

wpc No.8179/2010 2

3. In the above circumstances, this Writ Petition is

disposed of directing the respondent to consider the

request for variation of his own timings submitted by the

petitioner, evidenced herein by Ext.P1, in accordance with

law and to pass appropriate orders thereon as

expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of

two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this

judgment.

K.SURENDRA MOHAN,
JUDGE
