An affidavit in support of this petition is filed herewith.” 2. Learned counsel for respective respondents raises an objection that order, which is subject mater of challenge in this petition dated 10.10.2025, passed by State Transport Appellate Tribunal (STAT), Chhattisgarh, Raipur, whereby Tribunal has remanded back the case to the Regional Transport Authority for consideration and to dispose of the case within 60 days. It is also submitted by State counsel as also by counsel for respondent No.3 that the case before the Regional Transport Authority is fixed for hearing tomorrow. 3. At this stage, learned counsel for petitioner submits that though the case is fixed for hearing tomorrow, however, petitioner is apprehending that case will not be heard finally and disposed of on the date fixed 3 and it may linger on for further period at the instances of other interested party. The bus of the petitioner is stalled pursuant to the decision taken by STAT, therefore, a direction be issued to Regional Transport Authority to consider and take decision on the pending proceedings on the date fixed i.e. tomorrow. 4. Considering the submission of respective parties and further that the case is pending consideration before the Regional Transport Authority, Raipur I am not inclined to enter into merits of the claim of petitioner at this stage, and it will be appropriate to dispose of this writ petition directing respondent No.2 to take decision on the pending case before it in accordance with law by 26.11.2025 or if for any unavoidable reason, the case could not be heard, the same shall be heard latest by next dates fixed for hearing, which shall not be more than three weeks from today. 5. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this petition stands disposed of. Sd/- (Parth Prateem Sahu) Judge Balram
