The prayer made by the petitioner in the instant petition is to issue direction to renew the licence of agency of the petitioner by the respondents i.e. Oriental Insurance Company Limited. It has further been prayed that the commission due to the petitioner be also released with 24% interest within one month.

At one stage, it was stated by the learned counsel for the respondents that papers complete in all respect be submitted. On the last C.W.P. No. 5696 of 2007 date of hearing the statement made by the learned counsel for the respondents was that all formalities stand completed and the signature of the competent authority were required. Accordingly, a photocopy of the Fax, dated 9.5.2008, has been placed on record, which is Mark-‘A’, showing that the licence of the petitioner stands renewed, which will be valid upto 10.7.2009. With regard to commission, the stand taken by the respondents in para 10 of the reply is that on account of non-renewal of the licence, commission was not paid, which implies that the commission become payable after the renewal of licence, which has now been done. Therefore, the respondents are expected to release due commission to the petitioner within a period of one month from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order. The writ petition stands disposed of in the above terms. ( M.M. KUMAR ) JUDGE ( SABINA ) May 13, 2008 JUDGE Pkapoor 2
