                                JUDGMENT

The relief claimed in the writ petition reads

thus:

"Issue a writ of mandamus or other

appropriate writ order direction

commanding the respondent to consider Ext

P7 and P8 and endorse "heavy vehicle" too

in his driving license Ext P6."

2. The learned Senior Government Pleader, on

instructions, submits that the required fee for

considering the application for heavy vehicle

license has not been paid and hence the non-

consideration of the request Exts P6 and P7.

3. Accordingly it is ordered that, on the

petitioner remitting the required fee for

consideration of the application for heavy vehicle

license, appropriate action shall be taken on Exts

P7 and P8 applications without further delay.

Writ petition is disposed of as above.
