WASIM REZA Vs. STATE OF WEST BENGAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioner in this WP under art.226 dated March 14, 2012 is questioning an order of the State Transport Authority, West Bengal dated January 20, 2012 (at p.23).

(2.) RELEVANT parts of the impugned order dated January 20, 2012 are quoted below:

(3.) IN my opinion, the STA was wrong in rejecting the petitioner?s request on the grounds that it has already permitted him to operate two leased vehicles, and that since 2004 he has been plying the vehicles without keeping any vehicle as reserve. IN para.13 it has been stated that the distance of the route is 410 k.m. This fact is not disputed. Permission has been given to ply two vehicles for convenience of the passengers.
