Joginder Singh and another .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Mansur Ali, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr.H.S.Brar, Additional Advocate General, Punjab. -.- 1. 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) Notice of motion. Mr.H.S.Brar, learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to seek any counter-reply from the respondents at this stage. The petitioners seek a mandamus to direct the respondents including the Deputy Commissioner, SAS Nagar, Mohali, to issue them Identity Cards/Red Cards being the victims of 1984 Riots. The aforesaid cards are required to be issued in terms of the Government of India Policy dated 16.1.2006 (Annexure P-2). C.W.P.No . 14512 of 2010 2 The grievance of the petitioners is that despite several representations/applications moved by them, the Deputy Commissioner, SAS Nagar, Mohali, who is the Prescribed Authority to issue these cards, is sitting tight over the matter. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and without expressing any views on their entitlement for issuance of the aforesaid cards, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Deputy Commissioner, SAS Nagar, Mohali to consider the representation of the petitioners dated 26.2.2010 (Annexure P-7) and dispose of their pending claim by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. August 16, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
