In June, 1952, a temporary permit was granted to the petitioner in the Berhampore Jalangi route and it was an express term of the grant that the petitioner should also run her bus in the town service which was unremunerative. In May, 1953, the R. T. A. , Murshidabad invited applications for one permanent permit on the Berhampore Kharimpore route via Jalangi.

On 15-2-1954, the Regional Transport Authority, Murshidabad resolved that the permanent route should be granted to the respondent No. 14, Sri Meghendra Narayan Singha. So far as the order
