IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No.3421 of 2009 Date of decision: 4.3.2009 Sukhdeep Singh. -----Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab and another. -----Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL Present:- Mr. Manu K. Bhandari, Advocate for the petitioner. ----- ORDER: 1. The direction sought in this petition is for renewal of mini bus permit. 2. Case of the petitioner is that vide order dated 12.3.2004, the State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Punjab dismissed the revision petition of the petitioner against rejection of prayer for renewal of permit. The rejection was on the ground that application for renewal itself was made after about one year, though statutory period was 15 days under Section 81(2) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The petitioner could not explain reason for not submitting the application in time. 3. The Tribunal held that there was no justification for not seeking the renewal within the statutory period. The petitioner did not pay the tax nor produce fitness certificate of the bus. C.W.P. No.3421 of 2009 4. After perusing the impugned order, Annexure P-7, I am unable to hold that there is any error in the view taken in not accepting the prayer for renewal of permit. 5. The petition is dismissed. 6. However, this order will not stand in the way of the petitioner seeking any other relief before the appropriate authorities in accordance with law. March 04, 2009 (ADARSH KUMAR GOEL) ashwani JUDGE 2
