IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.2607 of 2011 Date of Decision : February 11, 2011. Subash Chander .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Vivek Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms.Monica Chhibbar Sharma, DAG, Punjab, for respondent Nos.1 to 4. -.- 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 to respondent Nos.1 to 4 only at this stage. Ms.Monica Chhibbar Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on their behalf. Let four copies of the writ petition be supplied to the learned State counsel during the course of day. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass neither there is any necessity to issue notice to respondent No.5 nor any counter- reply from respondent Nos.1 to 4 is required at this stage. The petitioner is a Contractor to whom the work contract for transportation of wheat and rice from FCI Godown to Rail Head C.W.P.No .2607 of 2011 2 Mullanpur Dakha, is said to have been allotted. It is alleged that respondent No.5-local Truck Operators Union and its office bearers are obstructing in the lawful performance of the contractual work by the petitioner by blackmailing him to hire the trucks affiliated to such a Union. It is quite unfortunate that despite the categoric mandate contained in the Division Bench judgment of this Court dated 4.10.2008 passed in C.W.P.No.18143 of 2006 (Manjinder Singh versus State of Punjab and others), the District and Police Administration is allowing the Truck Unions to interfere in the right of the petitioner to carry on his business in a lawful manner. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of at this stage with a direction to respondent Nos.2 to 4 to act upon in terms of the directions issued by the Division Bench of this Court in Manjinder Singh's case (supra) and take all necessary measures to ensure that no obstruction/ interference is made by the Truck Union in lawful performance of the contractual work by the petitioner. Let a copy of this order be handed over dasti to Ms.Monica Chhibbar Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, for information and necessary compliance. February 11, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
