( 1 ) THIS is a petition filed under Article 227, Constitution of India, praying that this Court should reverse an order made by the Commissioner of Burdwan dated 21-2-1950, by which he set aside an order of the Regional Transport Authority for Burdwan and cancelled a licence or permit which had been granted by that authority.

( 2 ) THE petitioners had a permit for a route, running from Barakar through Asansol and Burdwan to Katwa. As this route covered a long distance, the petitioners surrendered the permit which they held and prayed that the route be split into two, namely, Barakar-Asansol-Burdwan and Burdwan-Katwa, and that separate permits should be granted for these two routes. It seems that the matter came before the Regional Transport Authority of Burdwan on 23-9-1949 and the application of the petitioners for splitting up the route and the granting of two permits was rejected. Later,, however, the authority reviewed its earlier decision and granted the petitioners permits for two omnibuses on each of the two routes. The application had been opposed by the opposite parties in this Court, namely, the Asansol Bus Association and the latter preferred an appeal
