                         JUDGMENT

The petitioner is a stage carriage holder on the route

Cherplassery - Natyamangalam. The vehicle which was covered

by the permit was KL 09 P 4546, which is a 2004 model

vehicle. The application for renewal submitted by the petitioner

was sanctioned by the respondent with a rider to produce the

current records of the vehicle KL 09 P 4546. The petitioner

submitted Ext.P5 application for replacement. The limited

prayer of the petitioner is to give a direction to the respondent

to consider Ext.P5 application.

Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and

the learned Government Pleader, this writ petition is disposed of

with a direction to the respondent to consider Ext.P5 application

for replacement without insisting for current records of the

vehicle within 2 months. The petitioner shall clear off the entire

tax due of the vehicle, if any, within that period.
