       Dated this the 23rd day of May, 2009

                    JUDGMENT

Petitioner, operator of a stage carriage,

applied for a temporary permit in the vacancy

caused by the default committed by a regular

permit holder operating on the route Vyppin –

Kizhakke Appangatt. It seems that he applied for

temporary permit for four months. His grievance is

that temporary permits are granted only for 20

days.

2. There is some force in the submission made

by the petitioner that if the default continues in the

vacancy, then there is no reason why the temporary

permit must be confined only to 20 days.

3. In the result, writ petition is disposed of

directing the respondent to consider the grant of

temporary permit on the route Vyppin – Kizhakke

Appangatt as long as the vacancy exists, for four

W.P.(C).13195/2009
2

months. If there is any objection in granting a

temporary permit for the said vacancy, separate

proceedings shall be issued by the respondent

indicating the reasons against the grant of

temporary permit. It will then be open to the

petitioner or any other aggrieved person for that

matter to further pursue their request for grant of

temporary permit for a period in excess of 20 days.

V.GIRI,
Judge
