( 1 ) THE petitioner claims a writ of certionari for quashing the order passed by the state Transport Appellate Authority on 26-5-1972, filed as Annexure 'c' by which the case regarding grant of a regular permit on Guna-Mungawali route has been remanded to the Regional Transport Authority for taking a fresh decision and disposing of the matter according to law.

( 2 ) THE facts relevant for the purposes of this petition are that applications were invited for one return-trip permit on the aforesaid route by the Regional transport Authority, Gwalior. The petitioner and other respondent Nos. 3 to 5, were co-applicants. After publication of the applications, the question of grant of permit was considered by the Regional Transport Authority in its meeting held on 3-10-1968. The Regional Transport Authority, however, rejected all the applications on 4-10-1968 on the ground that because a portion of about 38 miles of the route was covered by an approved scheme of nationalisation of transport services, known as scheme No. 54, the route was not available for grant of permit to other operators and was reserved for operation by the State undertaking in accordance with the provisions
