Reliance Communications Ltd. .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Mandeep S.Sachdev, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 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 petitioner-Reliance Communication Limited is aggrieved by the order dated 15.4.2010 (Annexure P-2) passed by the Permanent Lok Adalat (Public Utility Service), Kapurthala-respondent No.2, whereby a consolidated amount of Rs.50,000/- has been awarded as damages to respondent No.3 whose mobile phone bearing No.9357622939 of Reliance Company went out of order due to some technical snag from 5.6.2007 to 20.7.2007. Having argued the case at some length, learned counsel for the petitioner points out that pursuant to the execution proceedings, the Permanent Lok Adalat has attached a sum of Rs.50,000/- which has since been sent by the petitioner to the Lok Adalat. It is urged that the counsel C.W.P.No .1131 of 2011 2 engaged on behalf of the petitioner-company could not bring all the material facts on record before the Permanent Lok Adalat especially the fact that the defect, if any in the mobile set was exclusively attributable to respondent No.4-i.e. the franchise holder whose franchise has since been cancelled. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits and rightly so that the impugned order dated 15.4.2010 (Annexure P-2) can not be treated as a binding precedent in future as the matter has been decided on the basis of peculiar facts and circumstances of this case only. Ordered accordingly. The amount deposited by the petitioner be disbursed to respondent No.3 forthwith. Dasti. January 27, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
