THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09.02.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:

W.P.(C) No.1360/2021

JUDGMENT

Petitioner is the holder of a regular permit on the route Manjeri – Kizhisseri – Edavannappara in respect of the stage carriage bearing registration No.KL-12B 6231. It is submitted that the first petitioner, who is not in a position to look after the service , proposes to transfer the permit and the vehicle from his name to the name of the second petitioner. A joint application was submitted as Ext.P2 and is pending before the authority. Grievance of the petitioners is that, Ext.P2 application has not been considered even now and it causes irreparable injury to the petitioners.

¶21

When the matter was taken up, learned senior Government Pleader submitted that, in relation to the above mentioned vehicle huge tax arrears are due, which has not been cleared of .

¶22

Having considered the nature of the contentions set up and the prayer sought by the petitioners, I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition itself with a direction that , on receipt of records evidencing the deposit of tax arrears, Ext.P2 application shall be taken up, considered and disposed of by the first respondent, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of four weeks from the date of receiving the records evidencing the payment of tax.

¶23

The writ petition is disposed of as above.
