After the issuance of the Regular Permit to the petitioner, a large number of services were introduced on the sectors of the route and some of the services have surrendered their permits. Now, the petitioner is facing serious difficulties to conduct service with the existing timings and therefore, the petitioner has submitted Ext. P1 request for revision of her own timings. But, the respondent is not taking steps to conduct Timing Conference and if there is any delay in considering Ext. P1 request, the petitioner will be put to difficulties, contends the Counsel for the petitioner. W. P. (C)No. 2129 of 2024 :3: 2. It is evident that Ext. P1 is an application for change of timing which has statutory support. Therefore, it is necessary that the competent authority consider Ext. P1 in accordance with law within a reasonable time. The writ petition is therefore disposed of directing the respondent to consider Ext.
P1 application and take appropriate decision thereon within a period of two months in accordance with law, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the affected parties. Sd/- N.
