Petitioners in both these cases were holders of stage carriage permits operating on the route Panthanahalli to Bangalore. The permits granted to them were for a period of 5 years valid upto either 1-3-2005 or 31-1-2005. It is the case of the petitioners that immediately after the grant of permits, they had commenced the operation of the services. The aforesaid permits were challenged by the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (for short, 'KSRTC') and some other private operators before the Karnataka State Transport Appellate Tribunal (for short, the 'Tribunal’) by filing revision petitions. The said revision petitions were allowed on 30-12-2000 and the orders of the State Transport Authority (for short, 'STA') were set aside and the permits granted in favour of the petitioners were cancelled mainly on the ground that the grant of permits on the route in question overlaps the notified route of Kolar Pocket Scheme, Anekal Scheme and APSRTC Scheme. The said order of the Tribunal was challenged by the petitioners before this Court in W.P. Nos. 2008-2011 of 2001 and other connected matters. This Court dismissed the said writ petitions by order dated 7 -2-200l. Writ appeals
