Hari Om Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 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? -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. Having regard to the nature of prayer sought for in the writ petition, learned counsel for the petitioner says that he would be satisfied if the Hindustan Petroleum Corporation takes a decision on the show cause notice, which was issued on 02.02.2010, for which a reply has also been sent by the petitioner immediately. The supplies have been stopped even without taking a decision. There is also a provision for arbitration in the contract of agency. For the present, I am of the view that justice will be met if the respondent-Corporation is directed to take a decision within a period of 10 days from the date of receipt of copy of this order, having regard to the fact that the show cause notice C.W.P. No.11330 of 2011 -2- was issued more than a year earlier and a reply has also been given. The petitioner shall be afforded a personal opportunity to explain his case on a day fixed by the Corporation. 2. Having regard to the nature of the order passed, I have dispensed with the requirement of notice to respondents and I have proceeded to disposed of the writ petition as above. 3. The petitioner shall serve a copy of the order passed by this Court along with the representation to the respondents for taking appropriate decision in the manner directed above. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE July 04, 2011 Pankaj*
