Item No. 21Heard Sri. P P Abdul Latheef the learned counsel represented the applicant Sri Jamsheer, for the grant of regular stage carriage permit as LSOS on the route Chalode-Mattannur-Iritty-Thalassery. The Motor Vehicles Act and rules are conspicuous by the absence of the term ‘Limited Stop Ordinary Service.’ The main intention of the applicant is for the elimination of stopping on certain bus stops on the route preferably near educational institutions and at places where commuters are lesser in number and that may to perform faster/speedy service causing dangerous overtaking, which affect public safety.

Most number of trips are scheduled between Thalassery-Mattannur-Iritty where the road condition is not good at present and sufficient stage carriages are plying and only one trip to Chalod on modification for lengthy route.

Today the applicant offered a stage carriage bearing registration no. KL-58/Q- 8388 which is obtained on lease agreement. He has no ready vehicle in his name for this appliction.

The Secretary RTA is directed to conduct enquiry regarding genuineness and legal validity of lease agreement and the possession of the offered vehicle. Hence adjourned.

P P Abdul Latheef the learned counsel represented the applicant Sri Prakasan for the grant of LSOS permit on the route Peralassery Temple-Kuthuparamba-Thalassery-Iritty (via) Pookode, Mattannur, Uliyil. Though the total length of the route is 52.5Km., the main plying intended is between Thalassery and Iritty as per proposed time schedule where there is sufficient stage carriages are plying. The application for LSOS is only to eliminate stoppings near educational institutions and at places where commuters are lesser in number and to perform faster/speedy service causing dangerous overtaking which may affect public safety. Further, the term “LSOS” is conspicuously absent in KMV Rule, 1989.

While submitting the application, the applicant has offered a stage carriage having valid permit on the route Thaliparamba –Manikkadavu valid upto 05.01.2019. He has no other ready vehicle. The grant of permit in respect of the offered vehicles will lead to double permit of a vehicle

which could not be performed or may compel to surrender of permit on the route causing shortage of service now enjoying by the travelling public.

Hence permit is granted on the above route as ordinary moffusil (without limited stop) subject to the condition that he shall produce current records of permitless suitable vehicle before Secretary, RTA, Kannur within a period of one month and otherwise the application stands rejected.

Item No. 23Heard Sri P P Abdul Latheef the learned counsel represented the applicant Sri Prakashan for the grant of permit as LSOS on the route Iritty-Thalassery-Kuthuparamba-Chakkarakal (via) Pookode, Mattannur, Moonuperiya, and Mamba. The term Limited Stop Ordinary Service (in short LSOS) is absent in KMVRule 1989. The same application was considered in the meeting of RTA held on 07.05.15 and subsequently a modified application on a longer route is submitted. But only one trip to extended portion between Chakkarakkal-Thalassery. The other portion is well served.There was objection from operators on the sector for grant of permit as LSOS. The limiting of bus stops only results isolated islands on the route having educational institutions and lesser number of commuters. Further, there will be tendency of speedy service with dangerous overtaking and disparity of running time with existing operators. Hence “LSOS” cannot be allowed.

There is no ready vehicle even at the time of considering the application. The applicant offered a new vehicle before RTA, but the records of the vehicle not submitted. Hence regular ordinary service (without limited stop) permit granted subject to the settlement of timings and withfollowing conditions.

1. The vehicle shall ply between chakkarakkal and Iritty in all trips, ie without cut trips. 2. Current records of the vehicle shall be produced within a period of one month before Secretary RTA.The non compliance of above condition will result the grant as rejected.

Item No. 57Application for fresh regular permit was submitted by the applicant Smt. T V Sindhu on 19.07.2004 and the permit was granted by this RTA on 19.10.2004, even without a ready vehicle in possession of the applicant as per Rule 159(2) of KMV Rules. The grantee( the Appellant in MVAA No. 40/2014) failed to produce the current records of a suitable vehicle, despite specific direction to that effect. The maximum period permissible under Rule 159(2) of KMV Rules was over and off late, the grant o f permit was revoked as per the provisions of Rule 159(2) of KMV Rules for failure to produce certificate of registration of a suitable vehicle. There was no cancellation of permit u/s 86 of MV Act as there was no issue of a complete permit u/s 85.

Pursuant to the direction of Hon’ble High Court and Orders of STAT, this authority reconsidered the matter on 22.01.2014 and rejected the application on valid grounds.

On the basis of Judgement dated 22.04.2015 in MVAA No. 40/2014, the matter is reconsidered today on merit. Heard Advocate Sri. P P Bhargavan, the learned counsel represented the appellant, Smt. T V Sindhu and the representative of KSRTC. The counsel for appellant submitted that he has a new vehicle in his possession and ownership and produced a copy of temporary registration “KL-07/BT Temp.6080 to avail the permit if granted. He also stated that the rejection of permit was set aside by the STAT. But the representative of KSRTC vehemently objected the grant stating that the route portion covers or overlap 9(Nine) kilometre on notified route and the grant is against the provision of MV Act 1988.

As per the report of field officer, the total length of the route applied is 63 Km and out of which 9 Km from Keltron Nagar to Kuppam is overlapping on notified scheme vide GO(P) NO. 42/2009/Tran dated 14.07.2009 and such overlapping is violation of the said scheme.

It is true that the scheme was not in force at the time of initial grant of permit on 19.10.2004. It was solely due to the failure on the part of grantee to offer a ready suitable vehicle with the application or to produce current records in a later date as required by Rules, that she could not avail the permit before the promulgation of notification of scheme. Even today, the appellant has no ready vehicle so as to meet the requirement of Rule 159(2) and to serve the travelling public. She has just produced a photocopy of a temporary registration issued to a chassis to which body has not been attached. The said vehicle has not been registered as a stage carriage in accordance with MV laws.

While considering the application today, afresh, this authority cannot grant a permit in violation of scheme.

Under this circumstance the sanction of application for permit on 19.10.2004 is hereby revoked under the provisions of Rule 159(2) of KMV Rules 1989.

Supplementary Item No. 8An application for renewal of permit on the route Kayamkulam – Udayagiri as LSOS was submitted on 17.05.2012 with mentioning of wrong date of expiry of permit as 20.02.2011 and type of service as super express by somebody (whose name and address not known from the application) on behalf of Sri. Alaxander Joseph, Sanjos Bhavan, Nedumkandam, Chenganassery. The request is in respect of S/C KL 05/F 3607. This fresh application was not taken up for consideration of RTA since the same (renewal of permit of this vehicle) was settled way back in 2001 and in 2006. The petitioner preferred WPc No. 29586/2013 suppressing the fact, before the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala directed this authority to consider and dispose of the fresh application in accordance with law. In the light of Court direction, considered the application on 22.01.2014 and 11.02.2015 and happen to be adjourned. Today the same came for reconsideration.

Heard Adv. Sri. P P Bharghavan, counsel for the applicant, Sri. Alxander joseph. On perusal of this file it found as:

(a) The basic application for fresh regular permit as LSOS on the route Kayamkulam-Udayagiri was received on 09.11.1994, considered by RTA on 23.02.1995 and rejected with findings “the route is very long. Finding out a time schedule is difficult. KSRTC as well as private operators having a number of similar services and introduction of this service will amount unhealthy competition. More over the timing furnished by the applicant does not accommodate facilities to driver as stipulated U/s 91 of MV Act”. The applicant preferred statutory appeal and STAT ordered on 08.06.1995 vide MVAA No. 686/95 to grant the permit to Mr. Philip Scaria as LSOS subject to counter signature from sister RTAs. This is a long distance route having jurisdiction of RTAs Alappuzha, Kottayam, Eranakulam, Trissur, Malappuram, Kozhikode. On compliance of STAT direction, permit issued on 23.02.1996 for a period of validity upto 20.02.2001, subject to counter signature of sister RTAs.

(b) In this mean time permit is transferred to Alaxander Joseph, the petitioner in WPc No. 29586/2013.

30

(c) In this contest no concurrence of sister RTAs received or sister RTAs counter signed the permit. Without obtaining counter signature, submitted application for renewal of permit on the entire route. There was also commission of offence for plying without counter signature. The Renewal of permit application was rejected by the RTA on 16.08.2001. The applicant filed appeal as MVAA No. 738/2001 and in the appeal STAT on 02.02.2002 ordered to reconsider the renewal application vide MP No. 1723/2001 on 16.8.2002. RTA adjourned this renewal application. Again in MP No. 2941/2003 in MVAA No. 827/2003 ordered U/s 214(2) as the permit will valid beyond the expiry date 20.02.2001 and temporary permit issued in this direction till 1/2005. The direction of STAT in MVAA No 738/2001 to renew the permit was set aside by the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala in OP No 14683/2002 with finding “when permit is sought to be renewed, there should be valid permit for operation throughout the route. If counter signature for the authority of a particular region is not obtained it cannot be said that the permit is valid over that region and thereby it is not a valid permit on the entire route”. The court upheld the decision of RTA of rejecting the renewal of permit in OP No. 14683/2002 and petitioner not challenged this judgement so far.

(d) But again renewal application was filed on 03.02.2006 obtaining a direction from Hon’ble High Court in WPc No. 11905/2006 to consider the renewal application. The renewal application considered on 22.07.2006 and rejected.

(e) In this time the vehicle S/C KL 05/F 3607 attained the expiry of eligibility period of stage carriage (15 years). No vehicle Tax at S/C rate is paid from 01.02.2005 for this vehicle. The present where abouts of the vehicle is also not known. No records of permit submitted along with the application. The vehicle is also having HP agreement and no NOC from the HP company produced, this is mandatory along with the renewal application.

Hence so called renewal application dated 17.05.2015 is liable to be dismissed at lemine due to the following reasons also:

(1) Identical application for renewal of said permit was rejected by this authority. Therefore he is not entitled to made an application of fresh in the same matter and that the rejection order was upheld by Hon’ble High Court of Kerala.

(2) The permit was expired long ago on 20.02.2001 and there does not exist any permit so as to consider any application for renewal of said permit.

(3) In fact there is no vehicle offered by the applicant. (4) Tax in respect of the vehicle mentioned in the application (KL 05/F 3607) has not paid at

S/C rate wef 01.02.2005 and the NOC from the financier has not enclosed.(5) The vehicle is not plying for the last 10 years on the route.(6) The route is objectionably overlapping with the notified route.(7) The sister RTAs have not concurred the permit. (8) The division bench of Hon’ble High Court of Kerala in Judgement dated 26.10.2015 inWA

No. 2175/2013 held that “an application for renewal of permit without being a vehicle with the application is not contemplated by Rule 172 of KMV Rules”.

Under the aforesaid reasons the application for renewal of permit is rejected.
