PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT, CHANDIGARH. **** CM No. 12554 of 2009 in CWP No.5848 of 2009 Date of Decision: August 06, 2009. *** Dr. Bodh Raj Vs. State of Punjab and ors. *** CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice T.S.Thakur, CJ and Hon'ble Mr.Justice Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia. *** Present: Shri S.L.Chander Shekhar, Advocate, for the applicant. . *** T.S.Thakur, CJ (Oral) Heard. For the reasons stated in the application, order dated 23.07.2009 is recalled and the writ petition restored to its original number. CM No. 12554 of 2009 disposed off. CWP No. 5848 of 2009. *** This petition purports to have been filed in public interest. It prays for a direction to the respondents to clarify/modify the true and correct meaning and purpose of the words ''Dependent and Dependency'' in the revised policy framed by the government regarding assitance to riot and terrorist affected families. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length and having perused the record, we see no reason for us to entertain this petition. We say so because a similar controversy is already pending consideration of this Court in Writ Petition No. 8297 of 2009 filed by Sucha Singh son of Santa Singh, resident of Village Sidhwan, Tehsil Batala District Gurdaspur, who claims the benefit of the government policy. The only other case which the petitioner has referred to in the present writ petition in an attempt to show that the issue agitated by him arises in large -2- CWP No. 5848 of 2009. number of other cases i.e case of Balbir Kaur, Sarabjit Kaur and Darshan Kaur, minor daughters of Mahasha Singh residents of Jamalpur Tehsil Baba Bakala, District Amritsar. It is evident from the averments made in C.M.No. 7954 of 2009 filed by the petitioner that a sum of Rs. 50,000/- each had been paid to the grand mother of the deceased minors on March 31, 2005. In case there any further payment is due to the net of kin of the minors, it will be open to them to seek appropriate redress in separate proceedings. There is in that view no justification for our invoking the extra ordinary writ jurisdiction in public interest only to examine an abstract proposition which the petitioner seeks to raise in these proceedings. Learned counsel for the petitioner then argued that the writ petition filed by Sucha Singh has been adjourned sine die and may be directed to be listed for appropriate orders. We see no reason to decline that request. The registry is directed to list the petition filed by Sucha Singh before the appropriate Single Bench for directions on August 17, 2009. With that direction this writ petition is disposed off but without any order as to costs. (T.S.Thakur) Chief Justice August 06, 2009 (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Malik Judge
