The complaint of the petitioner, a stage carriage operator is that, Ext.P1 application for temporary permit submitted by him has not been considered by the first respondent so far. A statement has been filed by the Government Pleader on behalf of the first respondent stating that, earlier an application filed by one Natarajan was dismissed by the Regional Transport Authority, Kollam finding that there was no temporary need. However, since no orders have been passed on Ext.P1 so far, it is only proper that the same is considered and orders are passed thereon expeditiously. This Writ Petition is therefore, disposed of directing the first respondent to consider Ext.P1 application submitted by the petitioner in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of two weeks of the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
