All these writ petitions pertain to the renewal of the permits
beyond 140 KM.
2. It is submitted by both sides that, against the judgment in
WP(C) No.39608 of 2024 and connected cases, writ appeals were filed
by the KSRTC and also by the State and the Division Bench by its
judgment in WA No.2342 of 2025 and connected cases dated 16 th
January 2026, passed the following:
"63. In the above circumstances, these
writ appeals are disposed of by modifying
the impugned judgment dated 01.08.2025
of the learned Single Judge in W.P.
(C)No.39608 of 2024 and connected
matters by holding that the entitlement of
the holders of 'saved permits', which were
issued to the private sector prior to
2026:KER:4701
WP(C) NO.29161 OF 2025 & CONN.
09.05.2006, who were allowed to continue
until the date of expiry of the respective
permits, for renewal of their respective
permits, is only until KSRTC applies for
introducing a new service on the route, in
which event the corresponding number of
existing private stage carriage permits in
the said route, which expire first after the
filing of the application by KSRTC, shall
not be renewed. The maximum distance
criterion of 140 kilometers in clause (oa) of
Rule 2 of the Kerala Motor Vehicles Rules
cannot be made applicable in the case of a
'saved permit', while considering its
renewal, subject to the above restriction
imposed under the scheme, in view of the
law laid down by the Division Bench in
Saju Varkey [2018 (4) KHC 617].
The concerned Regional Transport
Authorities are directed to consider the
respective applications made by the writ
petitioners, who are holders of 'saved
permits', strictly in terms of the law laid
down as above, as expeditiously as
possible, at any rate, within a period of
three months from the date of receipt of a
certified copy of this judgment, after
affording them an opportunity of being
heard."
2026:KER:4701
WP(C) NO.29161 OF 2025 & CONN.
3. In view of the above, the renewal applications shall be
considered, as directed by the Division Bench, within a period of three
months.
4. As regards the applications for temporary permits, the same
shall be considered with notice to the affected parties and in
accordance with law within a period of one month by the competent
authorities.
The writ petitions are disposed of as above.
