Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? SURYA KANT, J. [ORAL] The petitioner – Indian Oil Corporation seeks a Mandamus against the Railway Authorities for the refund of `1.42 Crores alleged to have been illegally recovered from it as 'licence fee' for a commercial plot. One of the star contention raised on behalf of the petitioner Corporation is that the afore-stated liability has been fastened by wrong calculation. The mistake committed by the Railway Authorities is said to have been pointed out to them vide various communications dated 08.09.2008, 12.03.2008 and 20.8.2009 [Annexures P-18 to P-20 respectively] also. Finding no response from the Railway Authorities that the petitioner has approached this Court. The respondents have not filed any reply/affidavit though sufficient opportunities have been granted to them. In these circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to [i] the Senior Divisional Commercial Manager, Northern Railways, Ferozepur and [ii] the General Manager, Northern Railways, Baroda House, New Delhi, to consider the afore-stated claim of the petitioner – Corporation, especially the dispute over calculations and pass an appropriate order after giving an opportunity of personal hearing to the representative of the petitioner, within a period of two months from the date a certified copy of this order is received. In case the petitioner is found entitled to any refund, the same shall also be made within a period of one month thereafter along with interest @ 7% per annum. Disposed of. Dasti. December 14, 2010.
