The permit was issued as per Ext.P1<\/p>\n<p>proceedings with the time schedule annexed to it. A reading of<\/p>\n<p>the said proceedings would show that the timings were settled ,<\/p>\n<p>unanimously, in the presence of 45 enroute operators. Even<\/p>\n<p>then, the petitioner filed Ext.P2 revision before the State<\/p>\n<p>Transport Appellate Tribunal challenging Ext.P1. The Tribunal<\/p>\n<p>dismissed it by Ext.P3 order. Challenging Exts.P1 and P3, the<\/p>\n<p>writ petition was filed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>     2.    The learned Single Judge dismissed the writ petition<\/p>\n<p>holding that Ext.P1 timings were settled as per the unanimous<\/p>\n<p>decision in a timing conference. We find no reason to take a<\/p>\n<p>different view in this matter. The learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>appellant pointed out that, in fact, it was not an unanimous<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">W.A.No.395\/2009                  2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>decision and he was having grievance against the time schedule.<\/p>\n<p>But, we notice that, in Ext.P2 revision petition, he does not<\/p>\n<p>dispute the statement in Ext.P1 that the time schedule annexed<\/p>\n<p>to it is the result of a unanimous decision. If the said statement<\/p>\n<p>in Ext.P1 was     wrong, the petitioner should have specifically<\/p>\n<p>pleaded so in Ext.P2. In the absence of any pleadings to that<\/p>\n<p>effect in Ext.P2 revision, we have to take that the statement<\/p>\n<p>mentioned above contained in Ext.P1 is correct. Therefore, we<\/p>\n<p>find no reason to interfere with the decision of the learned<\/p>\n<p>Single Judge. Accordingly, the writ appeal is dismissed. But, the<\/p>\n<p>dismissal of the appeal will not affect the rights, if any, of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner to move for modification of the time schedule, based<\/p>\n<p>on the changed circumstances on the route.<\/p>\n<p>                            (K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE)<\/p>\n<p>                              (M.L.JOSEPH FRANCIS, JUDGE)<\/p>\n<p>ps<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Sulaiman vs The Regional Transport Authority on 19 February, 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WA.No. 395 of 2009() 1.
