The petitioner applied for temporary permit on the route Marottichode - Fort Kochi in the vacancy of defaulted service bearing No.KL-07-BE-6918. The petitioner has approached this Court with a prayer to direct the respondent to grant and issue temporary permit to the petitioner's stage carriage on the aforesaid route in the vacant timings of stage carriage bearing No.KL-07-BE- 6918 , by considering Ext.P2 application. 2.If vacancy of stage carriage bearing registration No.KL- 07-BE-6918 is still in existence and if no other person has applied for a temporary permit to operate a stage carriage in that vacancy, there will be a direction to the respondent to issue a temporary permit of 'four months' duration within three weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment by passing appropriate W.P.(C) No. 29733 of 2014 (N) 2 orders on Ext.P2. Needless to say, such issuance of temporary permit will be subject to the preferential claim, if any.
Writ petition is disposed of as above.
