JUDGMENT
The writ petition is filed alleging non compliance of the directions of the State Transport Appellate Tribunal rendered in Exts.P4 and P5 orders.
2. By Exts.P4 and P5 orders, the State Transport Appellate Tribunal disposed of the revision petitions filed by the petitioners, directing the 1 st respondent herein to consider Exts.P2 and P3 objections of the petitioners and to pass fresh orders, in accordance with law, after hearing all the concerned parties, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of Exts.P4 and P5 orders.
3. The grievance of the petitioners is that the 1st respondent has not taken steps to consider and pass orders on Exts.P4 and P5 in spite of lapse of two WP(C).No.20395 OF 2022 3 months. Accordingly, the petitioners pray for a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P4 and P5, expeditiously.
4. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for the 1st respondent. In the nature of the directions I propose to issue, notice to the 2nd respondent is dispensed with.
5. It is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that pursuant to Exts.P4 and P5, the parties were heard. Since timing conference could not be convened, no orders could be passed. However, steps are being taken to comply with the directions in Exts.P4 and P5 in the next timing conference.
6. Accordingly, there will be a direction to the 1st respondent to comply with the directions in Exts.P4 and P5, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. WP(C).No.20395 OF 2022 4 The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction.
