K. Abdul Hameed and Others Vs. State of Karnataka and Others

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Sep-02-1998

Reported in: 1999(1)KarLJ502

ORDER1. I have heard the learned Counsels who represent the petitioners in all these four writ petitions, as also the learned Government Advocate who represents the respondents. All the learned Advocates have been heard on merits.2. The earlier orders passed by this Court indicate that there are almost one hundred persons who are similarly situated to the petitioners and I had afforded the petitioners' learned Advocate the facility of presenting a single petition on their behalf, if they so desire, for two reasons. First, because these are very poor persons. Secondly, because the cause of action is identical, but more importantly because the Government Authorities have passed orders against all these persons and only those who have obtained reliefs from the Court would get the benefit of the Court orders. The learned Counsel conveyed the position to some of the remaining persons but for a variety of reasons, none of them are before this Court. This order is therefore confined to the pe...

Decided on: Sep-02-1998

ORDERY. Bhaskar Rao, J.1. This appeal is filed by the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (in short, 'KSRTC') assailing the judgment of the learned Single Judge in allowing the writ petition.2. The facts of the case are, that respondent 1 applied for the grant of stage permit on the route Kundur to Shimoga, Shimoga to Basavapatna, Basavapatna to Shimoga and Shimoga to Kundur. Permit was granted on 29-7-1993. That is challenged before the Appellate Tribunal by respondents 4 to 6. The grant of permit was set aside stating that overlapping is there to the extent of 3.6 kms. and the scheme is exclusively reserved in favour of KSRTC. Assailing that order, the first respondent filed a writ petition.3.

Against that, KSRTC filed this appeal.4. Learned Counsel for the appellant contended tha...
