The petitioner, who is a stage carriage operator conducting service on the route Chittoor-Guruvayoor in respect of a stage carriage bearing registration No.KL-8/AT-5099, is before this Court in this writ petition, seeking a writ of mandamus commanding the respondent to consider Ext.P4 request, with the proposed timings submitted at the time of consideration of Ext.P2 request dated 5.6.2017, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within the time limit to be fixed by this Court and revise the timings of the service operated by the petitioner in respect of the said stage carriage.
2. By Ext.P3 judgment, this Court directed the respondent to consider Ext.P2 request made by the petitioner within a time frame. In compliance of Ext.P3 judgment, a timing conference was convened on 6.10.2013 which was adjourned for certain aspects. At that point of time, the petitioner noticed some mistakes crept in the proposed timing shown in Ext.P2. In such circumstances, the petitioner submitted Ext.P4 request to correct W.P.(C)No.3398 of 2018 :-2-:
those mistakes.
3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Senior Government Pleader appearing for the respondents.
4. The learned Senior Government Pleader on instructions would submit that Ext.P4 request made by the petitioner shall be considered by the respondent, at the time of consideration of Ext.P2 request.
In such circumstances, without expressing anything on the merits of the request made by the petitioner in Ext.P4, this writ petition is disposed of by directing the respondent to consider the request made by the petitioner in Ext.P4, while considering the timing proposed in Ext.P2, in terms of Ext.P3 judgment of this Court.
Necessary orders in this regard shall be passed, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of two months from the date of production of a certified copy of this judgment.
