Mr.C.Jagadish, learned Special Government Pleader takes notice on behalf of the respondents.
2. The petitioner is aggrieved against the order dated 01.10.2016 issued by the Regional Transport Authority, Thiruvallur, cancelling the permit of the contract carriage vehicle bearing Registration No.TN18-C-7939 for non payment of tax for the quarter ending 30.09.2016.
3. Admittedly, as against the order of cancellation of permit, appeal remedy is available to the petitioner to challenge the same before the State Transport Appellate Tribunal as provided under
Section 89(g) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Therefore, the petitioner has to only file an appeal before such an authority and challenge the order of cancellation of permit. Accordingly, this Writ petition is disposed of, by giving liberty to the petitioner to challenge the order of cancellation of permit before the Appellate Authority within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. If there is any delay in filing such appeal, the Appellate Authority shall take note of the filing of the present writ petition and the order passed herein for condoning such delay. This Court is not expressing any view on the merits of the matter as it is for the petitioner to canvass the same before the Appellate Authority while filing such appeal. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
