The petitioner is aggrieved with Exts.P5 and P6 revision of timings suo motu effected without notice to the petitioner. The petitioner admittedly was operating a service with settled timings as per Exts.P1 and P2. Purportedly, in compliance with the directions of this Court, as also implementation of D3 circular, the Secretary, Regional Transport Authority passed Exts.P5 and P6 proceedings revising the timings of the petitioner.
2. The learned Government Pleader, after perusing Exts.P5 and P6, submits that Exts.P5 and P6 are not final and objections, if any, are called for. However, it is to be noticed that Exts.P5 and P6 revised timings came into force with immediate effect, and then called for objections.
W.P.(C) No. 10528/2014 -2-
3. In such circumstances, Exts.P5 and P6 would stand set aside. However, implementation of D3 circular if proceeded with, with respect to all stage carriage operators, necessarily Secretary would have reserved the authority to do so, but, however, only with notice to the affected parties, in the present case, the petitioner. Till revision is made, in accordance with law, petitioner shall be permitted to operate as per Exts.P1 and P2.
Writ petition is disposed of.
