Chairman Member 1 – Member 2 67 RTA MALAPPURAM – 11.07.2016 been conducting service between Manthodam to Naduvattam Via Kakkidipuram randomly.

This authority has considered the application and perused the documents in detail; considered the arguments of the applicant and objectors; examined the report of the route enquiry officer. Regular Permit (10/556/2001) valid upto 16.08.2016. The permit holder applied for deviating the existing 2nd single trip from Edappal old block to Polpakara via Perumparamba instead of via Thattanpadi and time revision on the exsisting regular route.

The Secretary, RTA has re-enquired the matter and the report states, the stage carriage KL 54 4114 is operating the 2nd single trip Via. Thattanpadi is sufficiently served by Stage Carriages. Edappal Old Block to Polpakara Via Perumparamba is compritively less served. At present only two stage carriages with 4 single trips per day are operating on the Edappal-Pothanur route Via Perumparamba. Hence the request to deviate 2nd single trip from Edappal Old Block to Polpakara Via Perumparamba instead of Via Thattanpadi will be beneficial to the travelling public. The only time change as per the proposal time is the change of departure time 2.25 p.m. from Uppungalkadav as 2.20 p.m. as per the proposal the bus will depart from Changaramkulam after 6 minutes wait which will be beneficial to the travelling public. In the light of the above findings and observations, this authority feels that the request for variation complies with Section 80(3) of MV Act 1988.

However, in obedience to the directions contained in the judgment of Hon. High Court of Kerala in WP(C) No. 3130 of 2016 dtd 27.01.2016; the provisions contained in the GO (P) No.73/2013/Tran dtd 16/07/2013 and GO (MS) No.45/2015/Tran dtd 20/08/2015, the application for renewal permit can only be considered as LSOS.

Secretary, RTA is directed to renew the permit subject to the conditions mentioned above by this authority. Item No.143 Heard the learned counsel. This is to consider the application received from the Permit holder of Stage Carriage KL 09 K 1296 for replacement of vehicle by a latest model Stage Carriage KL 08 BB 1199 and to re- consider the application for renewal of permit granting permission to seek concurrence from RTA Palakkad and Kozhikode for renewal of stage carriage permit (10/5597/95) valid up to 09.10.2015 in respect of stage carriage KL 09 K 1296 on the route of Kozhikode-Palakkad Via Feroke NB, Kondotty, Malappuram, Perinthalmanna, Mannarkkad and Mundoor alternate service as LSOS. This authority has considered the application and verified related documents. The Stage Carriage KL 09 K 1296 (alternate service of KL 09 V 7477) covered by a regular permit expired on 09.10.2015 (10/5597/95) operating on the above inter district route. The regular permit in respect of this Stage Carriage is under suspened animation as per the order of Hon’ble STAT in M V A R P No. 190/12 dtd 06.07.12 w e f 16.07.12. On 06.08.2015 Permit holder submitted the application for renewal of permit and hire agreement replacement by a latest model Stage Carriage KL 52 H 3731. That matter wqas placed before the RTA held on 06.01.2016 vide Item No. 77 and the same is rejected since the regular permit in respect of the Stage Carriage is under suspended animation and also the permit holder applied for Hire agreement replacement of vehicle by a later model Stage carriage KL 52 H 3731. Now Permit holder submitted an application for replacement of vehicle by a latest model stage Carriage KL 08 BB 1199 registered in his name for reconsidering the renewal of permit which was rejected by the RTA 06.01.2016 vide Item No 77 and there by replacement of vehicle with KL 09 K 1296. This authority has also referred the observations made by Hon. High Court in a similar case in WP(C) No. 24250 of 2015 Dtd. 07.09.2015. By interpreting Rule 172 (2), Hon. Court has observed that ‘No applicable for renewal of permit would lie without the registration mark of the vehicle to be covered by the permit’. Hence even the very application for renewal submitted by the applicant is not maintainable. The validity of the regular permit attached to the stage carriage KL 09 K 1296(alternate service of KL 09 V 7477) is expired on 09.10.2015 and the the applicant is ceased to be a holder of a regular permit thereafter. On 06.08.2015 Permit holder submitted the application for renewal of permit and hire agreement replacement by a latest model Stage Carriage KL 52 H 3731. Similarly, as per Section 83 of Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, Sd/- Sd/- Sd/-

Chairman Member 1 – Member 2 94 RTA MALAPPURAM – 11.07.2016 only a holder of permit can apply for permission of the Regional Transport Authority to replace the vehicle covered covered by the permit by another. Further, the above said permit is kept under suspended animation as on 16.07.2012 and did not operate service for about 36 months. This authority is of the view that there is no necessity to condone the negligence of the applicant to operate a stage carriage. In the light of the above said findings and observations this authority rejected the application for renewal and replacement. Item No.144 Heard the learned counsel. This is to consider an application for renewal of stage carriage permit (10/53/2001) expired on 11.01.2016 in respect of stage carriage KL 53 A 6930 on the route of Padaparamba- Vettathur, Via Puzhakkattiri, Tirurkkad, Perinthalmanna, Thazhekkode, Karinkalathani, Arakkuparamba touching Manikkaparamba as City Service. This authority considered the application and verified the related files in detail. The permit renewal application has been received from the above applicant on 17.12.2015. Verification of connected files reveales the following: Regular permit in respect of a Stage Carriage is issued to KL 10 G 2253 to conduct city service vide No C5/3/2001/M on 12.01.2001 in the route Padaparamba, Vettathur, Via Puzhakkattiri, Thirurkkad, Arakkuparamba which was granted by the RTA. However, this authority could not verify the decision of RTA in original. The circumstances under which town service permit was issued in contravention to KMV rules are not clear for this authority. However, the S/C KL 10 G 2253 was replaced by a later model vehicle KL 10 N 984 w e f 11.04.2002 and again by another vehicle KL 53 A 6930 w e f 03.08.2009. Meanwhile the permit was renewed twice on expiry of the validity, ie w e f 12.01.2006 and 12.01.2011. The minimum number of seats to be provided in a City/town service Stage Carriage is permitted to be reduced 1/5th of minimum no of seats prescribed for a moffussil service vehicle (Rule 269 of KMVR 1989). The tax rate is also different. The issuance of city service in moffusil route resulted in a loss of tax by way of allowing reduced no of seats in the vehicle and loss worked out to Rs. 100500/- from 11.04.2002 to 31.12.2010. Local enquiry was conducted by the Account General (Audit) of Kerala for the financial year 2014-15 and strongly objected the service and reported that all other services operating in the above route are still operating as moffusil service and there is no town/city service operating in Malappuram district other than the said stage carriage. Further, this Stage Carriage KL 53 A 6930 conducting service with seating capacity of 16+2+4 and paying tax of Rs 10440/- instead of RS 13650/-(Ordinary Service) on a seating capacity of 21+2+5 which results short levy of tax i.e., 3210/- per quarter. The total levy of tax from 11.02.2002 to to 31.12.15 is 164700/- Sd/- Sd/- Sd/-

Chairman Member 1 – Member 2 95 RTA MALAPPURAM – 11.07.2016

On 17.12.15 permit holder has submitted an application for renewal of Regular Permit for further period of five years on the above said route as City Service. Secretary, RTA has intimated the tax dues as reported by the AG to the applicant and he refused to pay the short levy tax stating that the permit class was approved by the then RTA. Again, after the validity of the regular permit, the Secretary RTA has directed the permit holder to operate his service with Temporary Permit as Ordinary Service till the disposal of his application for renewal of stage carriage permit by this authority. The permit holder produced an order from Hon’ble High Court of Kerala in WP(C) No. 6473 of 2016 dtd 24.02.2016; which reads “…..The petitioner is free to apply for temporary permit to operate as Ordinary service, subject to the result of writ petition”. In obedience to the order of the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala, Temporary Permit was issued as Ordinary Service to the applicant on the same route up to 20.07.2016. This authority has considered the application for renewal of permit submitted by the registered owner of the stage carriage KL 53 A 6930 as City Service. According to Rule 2(ca) of KMV rules, 1989 city or town service means a service plying within the perimeter of a city or Municipal town notified as city or town service by the Government and both the terminals of which shall not extend beyond 5 Kms from the city or town limit. The circumstances under which town service permit was issued in contravention to KMV rules are not known to this authority and back files are not available for reference. Also, this is the only permit operating under the jurisdiction of this authority with this class of service. The very definition of City Service is a legal impediment to consider this renewal application with the requested class of service. In this context, this authority is of the view that the application for renewal of permit as City Service by the permit holder cannot be entertained as per law and rejected. However, for the continued operation of service and for the benefit of the travelling public, if the permit holder is ready to operate as Ordinary/Muffusil Service, the Secretary, RTA is free to renew the permit with respect to the stage carriage KL 53 A 6930 as Ordinary Service and the permit holder can continue the service on the same route. Further, regarding the comments made by AG on short levy of tax, this authority directs the Secretary, RTA to send a detailed explanation to the AG on behalf of this authority with available facts for a logical conculsion and disposal of the case. Item No.145 1) Perused the judgement of Hon’ble STAT in MVAA 53/2015 dated: 29-09-2015.

2) Heard the applicant Sri. Haneefa, S/o Sulaiman, Arimbrathodi House, Vallikkunnu, (No.101620/97 valid upto 04-09-2017). The regular permit of SC KL 10/Y 7874 on the route Feroke-Parappanangadi was cancelled by this authority vide decision in item no.87 of meeting held on 12-11-2014 in connection with a fatal accident in which the vehicle covered by the permit was involved. The reasons for cancellation of permit u/s 86 was

Sd/- Sd/- Sd/-

Chairman Member 1 – Member 2 96 RTA MALAPPURAM – 11.07.2016 narrated in the above said decision. The above decision was challenged by the permit holder by filing MVAA No.53/2015 before the Hon’ble STAT. The Hon’ble STAT in its judgement dated: 29-09-2015 remitted back the matter for fresh consideration after giving an opportunity to the appellant to submit his explanations with certain connected observations made by giving through the decision of this authority. The Hon’ble STAT has found that the offences committed by the permit holder in various aspects are considerable in taking decision u/s 86 of MV Act, but observed that necessary opportunity for filing explanations and proper hearing was not given to the appellant (permit holder) before arriving in the decision of cancellation of permit. The Hon’ble STAT has also commented that even in the circumstances prevailed as narrated in the decision of RTA, the RTA can also resort to the nature of punishment for the offense and lapses from the part of permit holder lead to the accident in which two lives were lost. The STAT specifically mentioned that the RTA can choose punishment as cancellation or suspension of permit but that shall be done only on the basis of the explanation that filed by the permit holder and subsequent hearing results. The secretary RTA received an explanation along with the copy of the judgement and conducted hearing on the basis of the said explanation. This RTA has gone through the explanation filed by the permit holder and the hearing notes, in the light of observations contained in the judgement of Hon’ble STAT. The permit holder in his explanation has stated that the reason for overloading in the vehicle which is reported as the associated cause of accident, was due to the peak time school students rush in the vehicle as this route is mainly operated by KSRTC. It is found as a matter to be considered when the nature of accident is taken into account. The MVI in his accident inspection report pointed out that the reason for tumbling of the vehicle is the overload and sudden turning of the vehicle. The sudden breaking and turning of a vehicle with overload may cause breakage of front suspension leaves according to the quickness of turning and consequent concentration of load towards the front wheels. This permit holder explained that he was maintaining the vehicle properly and has made good control over the employees in the vehicle. This explanation of permit holder is evaluated with the accident inspection report of MVI. It is inferred that there was some sort of emergency situation arised at the accident sport either by the negligence of the driver or by the unforeseen situation contributed by the traffic prevailed at the spot. The explanation of the permit holder regarding the allegation of speeding of the vehicle is that the bus stop just prior to the accident spot is only 20 meters behind and the same is also to be taken into account in the absence of proper assessment about the speed of the vehicle at the time of accident. But the offences related to the insurance and disconnection of speed governor still remain as admitted by the permit holder and those are violations u/s 84 of MV Act for which the permit has no other excuse and is liable to the punished on that aspect.

Chairman Member 1 – Member 2 97 RTA MALAPPURAM – 11.07.2016

The removal of seats from the vehicle with the invention of overloading is an offence and is punishable whatever the moto behind this act be. In the above circumstances, in view of the observations of Hon’ble STAT this authority feels that it is necessary to award a punishment in the form of suspension of permit for a period of ½ duration (tenure) of a regular permit is necessary in this case taking into account of awaking the necessity of responsible stage carriage operation by the operator in view of public safety. Hence the regular permit held by the SC KL 10/Y 7874 valid from 05-09-2012 to 04-09-2017 is suspended from 18-07-2014 to 17-01-2017. Secretary is directed to issue the order of suspension as prescribed u/s 86 of MV Act & Rule 186(a) of KMV Rules 1989 and take necessary steps to ensure the implementation of decision. Item No.146 Heard the learned counsel. On verification of connected files, a typing error is observed in one of the applicants and hence the Secretary, RTA is directed to rectify the error and place before this authority.

Item No.286 Heard. This is an application to consider the request for providing necessary sanction to operationalize the Privet Bus stand constructed at Puthanathani, by Athavanad Grama Panchayath.

Chairman Member 1 – Member 2 118 RTA MALAPPURAM – 11.07.2016

Hon. High Court of Kerala, the Secretary, RTA has convened a sub-committee comprising of Asst. Executive Engineer, P.W.D (Roads) Tirur, Vice Chairman, Tanur Municipality, Assistant Secretary Tanur Municipality, Chairman P.W.D Standing Committee, Tanur Municipality etc. The sub-committee discussed the traffic problems in Tanur Town in general and the existing and proposed parking lace for the contract carriages in articular in view of the directions contained in the aforesaid judgment. Considering the various aspects and the court direction the meeting decided to approve the decision of Tanur traffic reforms committee held on 01.10.2013 and the decision of the Tanur Grama Panchayath board held on 21.10.2013. The feasibility of the matter was further enquired through the Joint Regional Transport Officer, Tirur and reported that the site proposed is suitable for parking contract carriages. Further, the parking places of different classes of vehicles were decided as shown below: 1. Mini Lorry - from the northern side of Tanur Railway station road up to Gramin Bank 2. Taxi Car - from Gramin Bank onwards without creating obstruction to the commercial institutions. 3. Autorikshaws - from on the southern side of the Railway station road keeping a distance of 25 meters from the junction up to the Post Office. 4. Autorikshaw goods and Jeeps - remaining area beyond the post office without obstruction to the commercial institutions. 5. Truckers & Cruiser – Near the pond in front of the Panchayath office avoiding obstructions to the pedestrians. 6. Tourist buses and tempo travelers - A temporary parking arrangement is established at the land under the possession of the P.W.D located at the Tanur -Theyyala road near the railway gate, until the completion of the construction of Municipal bus stand. In the light of the directions contained in the WP(C) No. 25741/2015 (P) dated 17.12.2015, observations and findings mentioned above this authority feels that there is no other legal impediment to implement the decision taken by the sub-committee constituted for the purpose of recommending traffic regulations at Tanur Town area. The suggestions of the committee seems to be public friendly and effective to reduce the traffic congestion in the town. Hence this authority approved the recommendations mentioned above by the enquiry officer. Departmental Item 1 Heard. Perused. The decision of the STA in item No.1 of the meeting held on 29-02-2016. In obedience to the direction contained in the above decision, considered the enhancement of general concurrence distance of the route portions lying in this district/region, the primary authorities of which are other RTAs. It is found from the decision of STA that the legal position in granting general concurrence itself is out of jurisdiction of this authority, as there is no support of relevant rule in this regard. In the said decision, it is also mentioned that the practice of granting general Sd/- Sd/- Sd/-

Chairman Member 1 – Member 2 119 RTA MALAPPURAM – 11.07.2016 concurrence, in however short the distance in the region be, is without the authority of law and it will defeat the purpose of the provision in section 88(1) of MV Act. In the above circumstances, the enhancement of distance in general concurrence is violative of the relevant laws and is not maintainable. Hence the question of enhancement of general concurrence distance is ruled out. But the rule 171 of KMV rule 1989 has coexistence with the provision in section 88(1) of MV Act and the same can also be afforded in compliance of provision in section 88(1) in case of inter district route permit applications. Therefore it seems that on an application for grant or renewal of a stage carriage permit, whether prior concurrence or countersignature is to be resorted for dealing with the same is a matter that depends on the applicability and convenience of both methods and also depends on to a certain extend the stand taken by the parties involved. Hence a detailed hearing of all parties is found necessary for a clear understanding in this matter before arriving at a decision. The existing practice of treating a distance upto 20 kms of route length in this jourisdiction as under general concurrence also need to be verified in view of the observations in the decision of STA dated: 29-02-2016 in item No.1. Hence Secretary is directed to request STA to enlighten this authority whether the present practice of seeking concurrence is essential to be changed , as in the first hearing in this matter the operators and KSRTC are not in favour of adopting the method of obtaining countersignature from sister RTAs pointing out the difficulties in that process. A final decision in this matter is adjourned for the compliance of the above matters. Departmental Item 2 This is to decide the life span of stage carriages operating as Limited Stop Ordinary Service in view of the Government Order No. G.O (MS) 45/2015 Trans dtd. 20-8-2015 and the decision of STA Kerala in its meeting held on 18-11-2015 as departmental item. The STA is on opinion that, in the interest of public safety and convenience the vehicle plying on longer routes with Limits Stop Ordinary Service shall be of lesser age and of sound condition. With a view to achieve this objective the STA decided to fix the life of ordinary stage carriage services with limited stops as 10 years (ten) from the date of original registration of the vehicle. In this context the fixing of age to vehicles is obviously in the public interest because, old vehicles can cause accidents and inconvenience. Further the fast growing technological development shall not be refused to public. Hence the decision of STA in this regard is perused and this authority is also of the opinion that the life span of stage carriages of limited stop ordinary services has to be fixed as ten years from the date of original registration in view of the above observations. The existing (LSOS)

Sd/- Sd/- Sd/-

Chairman Member 1 – Member 2 120 RTA MALAPPURAM – 11.07.2016 vehicles which are completed ten years shall be replaced within a period of one year or at the time of renewal of permit whichever comes earlier. Departmental Item No. 3 This is to peruse the decision of Kerala STA meeting held on 18.11.2015 in departmental item (2) to issue directions to the RTAs to issue appropriate timing for the operation of the ordinary Limited Stop Services operating in the state in view of the Government Order G.O. (MS) No. 45/2015/Tran. Dtd. 20.08.2015. This authority has perused the decision of STA, Kerala in detail. Decision of STA reads, ‘LSOS needs to be reckoned as ordinary service only with limited number of stops in between termini, as specified by the authority on the number of stops on the routes. Therefore the running time for such service shall be on par with other ordinary services only. Moreover, in view of the absence of the term “LSOS” in any of the statute books, no running time other than that fixed for the ordinary service is permissible by law. Further, the existing norm for fixing running time for ordinary service is generally 2.5 Minutes for a distance of one kilometer. Modification of running time fixed by the STA resolution no. D3/875/STA/2005 is underway. Till the finalization of the same, the said stage carriages shall be allowed with the existing running time and stops.’ In the light of the above direction from STA, this authority directs the Secretary RTA to implement the decision with immediate effect. Departmental Item No. 4 Ratified. Supplementary Item 1 This is an application to consider the representation submitted for seeking consideration of specifying vehicle models while granting fresh stage carriage permits to avoid accidents and creation of hardships to travellers and also general public. This authority held on 06.01.2016 in Item No. 154 has considered this matter and the decision was adjourned with a direction to the Secretary, RTA to enquire the matter with special focus to the social and economic aspects of Malappuram and place a detailed report before this authority. The same is not seen produced and hence a propoer approach to this application is not possible for this authority with the available data and hence adjourned with a further direction to the Secretary, RTA to place a detailed report before this authority. Supplementary Item 2 Heard. Perused the Judgment of Hon. High Court of Kerala in WP(C) No 20242/2016 This is an application for replacement of vehicle to endorse the permit No.10/638/1990 attached to stage carriage KL 10 AB 4921 to his own another stage carriage KL 10 AV 4392. This authority has considered the application in detail and perused the connected files and documents. Also perused the directions contained the Judgment of Hon. HighCourt.

Chairman Member 1 – Member 2 121 RTA MALAPPURAM – 11.07.2016

Secretary RTA Malappuram has rejected the above application vide order C1/80967/2016/M Dtd 25/05/2016 and against the rejection; the petitioner approached Hon. High Court of Kerala and Hon. High Court has set aside the impugened order of Secretary, RTA and directed this authority to consider the application for replacement afresh. This authority has considered that matter in detail and fournd that, originally the permit was issued in the year 1990 to KL 10 B 5625 which had a seating capacity of 48 in all. During the course of time, this permit is replaced to various vehicles viz, KL 11 H 1224 (36 seats), KL 10 S 7266 (36 seats), KL 10 W 8818 (33 seats) and at present the permit is attached to KL 10 AB 4921 which is also having a seating capacity of 28. Now, the present application is to replace the permit to KL 10 AV 4392 which is having a seating capacity of 23. KMV rules 174(3) note reads as ‘‘For the purpose this rule vehicle which differ by not more than 25 percent of the gross vehicle weight or seating capacity ,as the case may be shall not be considered as materially different’’. Originally RTA has granted this permit to a 48 seat stage carriage. KMV rule allowing replacing the vehicle if the material difference is not more than 25%. But a steep reduction of seat will badly affect the travelling public and tax the revenue of the state. This authority is of the view that this is not at all a public friendly approach and this will adversely affect the travelling needs of the public on the proposed route. The intention of the applicant is a gradual reduction in tax payment. Regional Transport Authorities are constituted to provide better travelling facilities for the public and this authority is of the view that the intention of this application is to deprive the existing travelling facilities of the common travelling public. In view of the above findings and observations this authority rejected the application for replacement of vehicle to endorse the permit No.10/638/1990 attached to stage carriage KL 10 AB 4921 to his own another stage carriage KL 10 AV 4392.
