SRI DEEPU THANKAN-SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23.12.2022, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
JUDGMENT
The singular plea of the petitioner in this Writ Petition is that the 2nd respondent – Managing Director of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), be directed to take up Ext.P6 representation and dispose it of, after affording him an opportunity of being heard.
2. Sri.K.P.Justine – learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that his client is confining his plea as afore because, if Ext.P6 is disposed of adverting to Ext.P5, he is sure of obtaining the reliefs sought for in this Writ Petition.
3. Sri.Deepu Thankan – learned Standing Counsel for the KSRTC, prayed that though there is no legal impediment in Ext.P6 being considered by the 2nd respondent, no affirmative declarations be made by this Court in favour of the petitioner at this stage because it may have effect on other persons. He thus pleaded that all aspects be allowed to be decided by the said Authority.
Taking note of the afore submissions, I order this Writ Petition and direct the 2nd respondent – Managing Director, to take up Ext.P6 representation of the petitioner and dispose it of, adverting to Ext.P5 and after affording him, as also any other person who may be interested, an opportunity of being heard; thus culminating in an appropriate order and necessary action thereon, as expeditiously as is possible, but not later than four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
