RESPONDENT:

          THE SECRETARY, REGIONAL TRANSPORT AUTHORITY , KANNUR,
          REGIONAL TRANSPORT OFFICE, KANNUR 670 001


OTHER PRESENT:

          SMT. SURYA BINOY- SR. G.P




     THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
03.11.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
 WP(C) NO. 24048 OF 2021
                                    2

                             JUDGMENT

The singular reason why the petitioner in this

case has approached this Court is because the

jurisdictional State Transport Appellate Tribunal

(STAT) is presently not sitting.

2. This is admitted by the learned Senior

Government Pleader - Smt.Surya Binoy also.

3. Obviously, therefore, the petitioner cannot

be put to unreasonable prejudice for no fault of

his; and am of the firm view that the Temporary

Permits now being enjoyed by him must stand

extended for a short period, so that the Tribunal

can then decide his case on merits.

In the afore circumstances, I dispose of this

writ petition to the limited extent of ordering

that the Temporary Permits now enjoyed by the

petitioner will remain in force until 31.11.2021;

with liberty being reserved to him to approach the

STAT appropriately for further relief on his WP(C) NO. 24048 OF 2021

substantive prayers.
