Judgment & Decree
AKHTER HUSAIN, F. C.‑This is an appeal against an order dated the l8th November 1949, passed by the Regional transport Authority, Rawalpindi, whereby the Authority decided not to re‑issue temporary public carrier permit in favour of the appellant as he had got the previous permit by means of fraud and had been convicted in a case of cheating. The above shows that in arriving at its decision the Regional Transport Authority was influenced by the fact that the appellant had been convicted in a case of cheating. Later on, however, the appellant was acquitted by the Appellate Crimi nal Court. In the circumstances its appears just that the Regional Transport Authority should reconsider this case in the light of the Appellate Criminal Court's order of acquittal. Moreover the order appealed against shows that the Authority had made no distinction between operators or non‑operators in the matter of issuing permits to them. The only condition laid down by the Authority was that so far as the non‑oper ators were concerned no individual would get more than one permanent permit. The appellant had got a permanent permit and had been utilising the same for over a year. As a non‑operator temporary permit holder he was, therefore, entitled to the same consideration to which the other' non‑operators like the appellant were. In view of all these circumstances the case is remanded back to the Regional Transport Authority for re‑consideration of the case on merits keeping in view the two factors mentioned above. Announced. A. H. Case remanded.
