JUDGMENT

The petitioner challenges Ext.P3 order passed by the State Transport Appellate Tribunal dated 22.9.2025 in MP No.2207/2025 in MVAA No.214/2022.

2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner had only sought a temporary permit for forty days from 25.07.2024, but the Tribunal granted an order for a period of three months.

3. The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that the 3rdrespondent was granted a temporary permit, which is valid till 16.02.2026. This is recorded.

Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the State Transport Appellate Tribunal to pass orders in MVAA No.214/2022, within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment. This judgment will not prevent the parties from filing any application for interim prayers pending the appeal.
