The bus, which operates on the Pathanamthitta-Coimbatore route, started at 5 am and was stopped at Mylapra. The officials allowed the bus to continue its trip only after they completed the inspection.
The favourable verdict came after Giressh paid a fine of Rs 82,000 for violating traffic norms.
The court further stated that 50 per cent of the fine imposed should be paid immediately and the remaining amount can be cleared once the case is settled.
The bus got stuck in the mud after the dignitaries had alighted from it. However, the incident went viral on social media. In another incident, the wall of a school was demolished to allow the bus to reach the stage.
The bus resumed service from Pathanamthitta to Coimbatore on Wednesday.
Justice Dinesh Kumar Singh sought to know how the KSRTC could question the Central rules and adjourned the hearing for two weeks to facilitate the Central Government filing its stance on the matter.
At least 30 passengers were onboard the bus when the accident took place around 10 pm on Friday.
