JUDGMENT

¶16

Petitioner is a holder of stage carriage permit bearing No.KL-55-Z5128 on the route Kadampuzha Temple – Tirur (touching Vairankode (via.) Pattarnadakkavu and touching Aloor (via) Kuttikalathani 2 singles (via) Puthanathani, Kuttikalathani, Randal, Thuvakkad and Ezhur as ordinary service, Ext.P1. Petitioner is conducting the service on the basis of the timings issued by the respondent on 8.7.2011. Since various fresh permits have been issued, there has been a change in the circumstances and therefore a request Ext.P3 dated 10.12.2022 has been submitted to the respondent for revision of the timing.

¶17

The learned Government pleader submits that the application for revision of timings shall be considered as per the seniority, as expeditiously as possible, if submitted.

¶18

Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the matter, I dispose of the writ petition by issuing directions to the respondent to take a call on the request Ext.P3 dated 10.12.2022 for revision of timing as per the seniority, as expeditiously as possible, if submitted.
