2. It is submitted that at the time of admission of these writ petitions, interim orders were granted by this Court, permitting the petitioners to ply the Stage Carriages as Limited Stop Ordinary Service.

The Division Bench of this Court upheld the judgment of the Single Judge. In view of the afore developments, no further orders are necessary in these writ petitions.

2. It is submitted that at the time of admission of these writ petitions, interim orders were granted by this Court, permitting the petitioners to ply the Stage Carriages as Limited Stop Ordinary Service.

3. Government Pleader would submit that the issue was considered by a Single Bench of this Court in W.P.(C)Nos.43252 of 2023 and connected cases :29: W.P.(C) No.18290 of 2023 and other cases. The Government Scheme dated 03.05.2023 on the basis of which the petitioners were issued permit, describing the service as 'Ordinary Service', was set aside by the learned Single Judge. It is to be noted that all these Stage Carriages were plying for routes less than 140 Kilometres. It is submitted that the dispute relating to routes exceeding 140 Kilometres is pending consideration before this Court in other writ petitions.

4. The common judgment of the learned Single Judge was challenged by filing W.A.No.1821 of 2024 and connected cases by the Government as well as by the KSRTC. The Division Bench of this Court upheld the judgment of the Single Judge. In view of the afore developments, no further orders are necessary in these writ petitions.

It is made clear that this order W.P.(C)Nos.43252 of 2023 and connected cases :30: will be subject to any decision that may be taken by the Hon'ble Apex Court against the Division Bench judgment.
