IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.19149 of 2010 Date of Decision : October 26, 2010. DAV College, Maharishi Dayanand Marg, Abohar .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Aman Chaudhary, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.H.S.Brar, Additional Advocate General, Punjab. -.- 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.H.S.Brar, learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to seek any counter reply from the respondents at this stage. The petitioner-College asserts itself to be covered under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme in terms whereof, 95% grant-in-aid towards the deficiency in budget is provided to the educational institutions by the State Govt. The short grievance of the petitioner-College is that pursuant to the directions earlier issued by this Court vide order dated 19.5.2009 passed in C.W.P.No .19149 of 2010 2 Civil Writ Petition No.7553 of 2009 (DAV College, Abohar, District Ferozepur versus State of Punjab and others) (Annexure P-1), the respondents have released the grant-in-aid upto the year 2007 but no such grant has been released for the subsequent years despite the petitioner representing the authorities time and again including vide representation dated 8.7.2010 (Annexure P-2). Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the fact that the issue involved is no longer res-integra and this Court has already issued directions for the release of grant-in-aid to the colleges like the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the petitioner's claim for the release of the grant-in-aid from the year 2008 onwards, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order, subject to fulfillment of the conditions by the petitioner's college as laid down under the Govt. Scheme. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. October 26, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
