Kuldeep Singh and another s .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Mansur Ali, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 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) 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). 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 the entitlement of the petitioners for issuance of C.W.P.No . 11574 of 2010 2 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-6) 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. July 05, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
