In compliance to the order of Hon'ble High Court an opportunity of hearing was given to Mr Subhasish Taran -Vs - State of west Bengal, vide W.P.No.12437(W) 2011 considered the prayer of the petitioner and decided to reject the same on the ground that the route prayed for is already over congested , the road condition and traffic movement are not conducive for further load, thus in the interest of the public safety and case of movement, it is decided that further permit cannot be granted at this stage.
