IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH **** C.R. No.5042 of 2007 Date of Decision:01.10.2007 Jaswant Singh .....Petitioner Vs. State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Punjab, Chandigarh and others .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present:- Mr. Ramesh Kumar, Advocate for the petitioner. **** Rajesh Bindal, J. The challenge in the present petition is to the order dated 26.4.2007 passed by the State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Punjab, Chandigarh (for short, `the Tribunal') in an application for interim relief filed by the petitioner. While rejecting the prayer for interim relief, the notice was issued to the respondents in the appeal, which is now stated to be pending for 8.10.2007. Learned counsel for the petitioner could not dispute the fact that grant of interim relief would amount to granting the final relief to the petitioner which cannot possibly be granted at the interim stage. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that because of delay in disposal of the appeal, the petitioner is suffering irreparable loss as his bus is standing idle, accordingly, he prays that the Tribunal be directed to decide the appeal at an early date. The prayer made is innocuous. Accordingly, the Tribunal is directed to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner at an early date and preferably within a period of one month from the date of receipt of copy of this order. Revision Petition is disposed of in the manner indicated above. October 01, 2007 ( RAJESH BINDAL ) renu JUDGE
