The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal in this case, continuing the interim order that allowed the petitioners to ply their buses on the permits held by them despite the permits being suspended by the Board of Revenue. The Court expressed that it cannot intervene in the administrative decisions to renew an expired permit, advising the petitioners to seek other legal remedies if they believe their rights are being violated. Consequently, the petition for directing the authorities to renew the permits was dismissed. |
