The issue involved in this writ petition is with regard to the complaint of the petitioners that the respondents and their subordinate officers are insisting upon the petitioners to obtain police permits and pay Rs.100/- per day per vehicle in respect of the contract carriage vehicles, which are plying in the twin cities.

3. Learned Government Pleaders also accepts and submit that strict instructions are already issued to all the respondents not to insist on payment of Rs.100/- per vehicle per day, as alleged by the petitioners.
Recording the said submission and following the aforesaid decision, this writ petition is disposed of in terms thereof. As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
