JUDGMENT : 1. The petitioner is a resident of Vengipalayam, Tirupur district. The fourth respondent has been given a route permit to run on route no.15 in Tirupur Town service between Tirupur Bus Stand to Vengipalayam via Government Hospital, Chettipalayam, Avinashipalayam and Koduvoi with a set of scheduled timings. 2. Though, initially the fourth respondent operated the bus service between Tirupur Bus Stand to Koduvoi, subsequently, the route was extended upto Vengipalayam, based on the representation given by the villagers. For the past 1 year, the fourth respondent is not operating between Tirupur Bus Stand to Vengipalayam and stopped operating in the Koduvoi route itself, which causes much inconvenience to the villagers, especially, to the school going children. 3. In this regard, a petition was given to the authorities on 31.05.2016 and in turn, the second respondent suitably instructed the fourth respondent on 04.07.2016. The second respondent instructed the fourth respondent to stick on to the route. Similarly, again based on the representation, the second respondent/Regional Transport Authority by communication, dated 20.09.2017 directed the fourth respondent to abide by the schedule and also the route. Since it has not been complied with, the petitioner is before this Court. 4. Heard Mr. K.S. Kaviarasu, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. P.V. Selvakumar, learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 to 3. The appearance of the fourth respondent is dispensed with. 5. The prayer sought for by the petitioner is only to direct the second respondent to take action for not complying with its order dated 04.07.2017 and 20.09.2017. When a route has been given by the Transport Authorities in the interest of the villagers, the fourth respondent is bound to follow the same and the fourth respondent cannot choose its route, ignoring the rest of the route, causing much inconvenience to the villagers. Once a route permit has been given by the authorities, it has to be scrupulously followed. 6. Therefore, the second respondent is directed to take appropriate action against the fourth respondent as per the order dated 04.07.2017 and 20.09.2017, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 7. With the above direction, the writ petition is allowed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
