Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner claims itself to be a Non-Government Organization (NGO) to whom the Drug Licence Nos.25918-NB and 25918-B has been granted for the sale of generic medicines. The petitioner was allotted a 'Jan Aushadhi Store' in the Civil Hospital at Patiala and the shop/premises belonging to the Civil Hospital, Patiala, was rented out to it for running the afore-stated drugs store. The Managing Director of the Punjab Health Systems Corporation has, however, issued the impugned show cause notice dated 19.10.2010 (Annexure P-14) to cvlose the 'Jan Aushadhi Store' for more than one reasons. C.W.P.No .19140 of 2010 2 Suffice it to mention here that the afore-stated notice has been issued on the basis of several allegations though strongly refuted by the petitioner. The aggrieved petitioner seeks quashing of the above- mentioned notice on various grounds. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the fact that various pleas raised on behalf of the petitioner would require ascertainment of correct facts on verification of the records, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with liberty to the petitioner to submit its reply to the show-cause notice and/or an appeal- cum-representation before the Director, Health and Family Welfare Department, Punjab within a period of one week from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Considering the nature of relief sought, the concerned authority or the Director, Health and Family Welfare Department, Punjab, are directed to dispose of the petitioner's claim, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the representative of the petitioner, within three weeks from the date of receiving such a representation. Till the petitioner's objections or appeal-cum-representation is decided, the petitioner shall not be dispossessed from the premises subject to the payment of monthly rent, however, the Jan Aushadhi Store shall remain closed. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. October 26, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
