IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 20452 of 2010. [O&M] Date of Decision: 17th November, 2010. Garg Rice & General Mills & Ors. Petitioners through Mr. Anil Khetarpal, Advocate Versus State of Punjab & Ors. Respondents through Mr. Hari Pal Verma, Advocate Mr. H.S.Brar, Addl.AG, Punjab. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 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. Hari Pal Verma, Advocate, accepts notice on behalf of respondent No. 1 and Mr. H.S.Brar, Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of respondent No.2. Keeping in view the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no necessity to seek any reply/affidavit on behalf of the respondents at this stage. The petitioners are Rice Millers from the State of Punjab, who seek a Mandamus to direct the Food Corporation of India to accept the delivery of custom milled and levy rice from them as the delay in acceptance thereof would allegedly entail penal consequences. The averments made in the writ petition indicate as if there is some law and order problem being faced by the FCI in the matter of deployment of regular labour after abolition of contract labour. The law and order problem, if any, can obviously be resolved with the aid and assistance of the State machinery responsible for its maintenance, including the police authorities. While it may not be desirable for this Court to command the respondents to act in a particular manner, there can indeed be no doubt that the stalemate, if any, needs to be removed at the earliest in public interest. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the respondents to immediately swing into action and take necessary steps as may be required in law. Disposed of. Dasti.
