IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 19386 OF 2006 DATE OF DECISION: July 14, 2009. Parties Name Amrik Singh and another ..PETITIONERS VERSUS Presiding Officer, State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Punjab ...RESPONDENT CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH PRESENT: Mr. R.K.Dadwal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Anil Sharma, Addl. A.G., Punjab, for respondents No. 1 to 3. Mr. P.S. Bawa, Advocate, for respondent No. 4. JASBIR SINGH, J. (oral) JUDGMENT: This writ petition has been filed with a prayer to issue directions to quash order dated August 8, 2006 (P-5), vide which contract contract carriage passenger tempo permit was granted in favour of respondent No. 4. It is not disputed before this Court that when applications were invited to grant that permit, petitioner was one of the objectors. Prayer of respondent No. 4 to grant permit was declined . He went in appeal, which initially was dismissed for non-prosecution. However, subsequent thereto it was restored. The appellate authority has granted permit to respondent No. 4 by stating that as per liberalised policy, which was upheld by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Mithlesh Garg etc v. Union of CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 19386 OF 2006 -2- India and others, AIR 1992 Supreme Court 443, the respondent was entitled to get a permit. After hearing counsel for the parties, this Court feels that order passed is perfectly justified. Under liberalised policy, who-so-ever applied for tempo permit, is bound to get it. Counsel for the petitioner has failed to show any fact, which may deter the authorities to grant stage carriage permit to respondent No. 4. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed.
