C.W.P No. 16449 of 2008 ::1:: IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P No. 16449 of 2008 Date of decision : September 17, 2008 Jaswant Singh ...... Petitioner through Mr. H.S.Sawhney, Sr Advocate with Mr.Vikas Singh, Advocate v. State Transport Appellate Tribunal and others ...... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers 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 ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J This writ petition has been filed for quashing the order dated 6.8.2007 whereby the State Transport Appellate Tribunal dismissed the appeal of the petitioner against the order of the State Transport Controller, Punjab dated 5.12.2001 whereby regular stage carriage permit on Mohali- Jalandhar via Kharar-Morinda-Samrala-Ludhiana-Phagwara route was granted in favour of respondent No.3. The main argument of Shri H.S.Sawhney, learned senior counsel for the petitioner is that the Tribunal has rejected the case of the petitioner only on the ground that the application was signed by one of the partners and that this finding is contrary to the record. We find that the Tribunal has also considered the merits of the C.W.P No. 16449 of 2008 ::2:: contending parties and has held that respondent No.3 was more meritorious as compared to the petitioner. In this view of the matter, finding no merit in this writ petition we dismiss the same with, however, no order as to costs. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE ( ADARSH KUMAR GOEL ) JUDGE September 17, 2008 'kk'
