JUDGMENT
The petitioner had submitted Ext.P1 application for replacement of the vehicle in respect of a regular permit which he has in his favour. According to the petitioner, the application is not being considered on the ground that the vehicle does not belong to the petitioner. By the judgment in M.Raveendran v. R.T.O. & another (1995 (1) KLJ 96) this Court had considered this matter and has found that it is enough that the applicant have a valid agreement for holding the vehicle.
2. In that view of the matter, this writ petition is disposed of as follows:-
The respondent shall consider Ext.P1 and pass appropriate orders within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this WP(C).7991/15 2 judgment irrespective of the fact that the petitioner is not the registered owner of the replacing vehicle and if he is in possession of a valid agreement and he complies with the other procedures in accordance with law.
