KUMAR, A KUMAR, A KUMAR, A KUMAR, Acg cg cg cg.C.J.J.J.J. 1. The prayer made in the instant petition is for issuance of a direction to the respondents to provide the facility of public transport through the Haryana Roadways buses via the village of the petitioner i.e. Paju and other neighbouring villages situated on the same route, namely, Nangal and Budheri, Sub Tehsil Behal, Tehsil Loharu, District Bhiwani, to Behal, Loharu and Bhiwani. 2. In the written statement filed by respondent Nos. 2 and 3 it has been disclosed that the routes leading from Badhra to Behal and Badhra to Garanpura have been allotted to the private Transport Societies and their buses passes through the village of the petitioner i.e. Paju and other neighbouring villages. Once the routes have been allotted to private transport societies then the CWP No. 19472 of 2010 2 Haryana Roadways buses, according to the terms and conditions, are not to be plied on the aforesaid routes. It has been specifically stated in para 2 that the transport routes leading from Badhra to Behal and Badhra to Garanpura have been allotted to the private transport societies and the private buses passes through those villages since 1993. A list of the routes of such buses has been placed on record (R-1). A perusal thereof would show that the route Badhra-Garnpura via Nangal, Gopi, Kakroli, Ladawas, Dadma, Dwarka, Shaymkalan, Dighawa, Manphera, Nakipur, Phari, Paju, Nangal, Garnpura has been allotted to the Adrash Rambas Coop. Transport Society. It would also reveal that the Nangla Coop. Transport Society has been allotted almost the same route. Both the aforesaid private societies have four round trips each. Therefore, the grievance made by the petitioner that the Haryana Roadways must operate on the aforesaid route cannot be accepted as adequate facility has been provided by laying down the terms and conditions between the State Transport Department and the Private Transport Societies. As long as the transport facility is available and is regulated by the State Transport Department, it would not be necessary that only Haryana Roadways buses should operate on those routes. Accordingly, we find that there is no legitimate grievance. The writ petition is dismissed in the aforesaid terms. (M.M. KUMAR) (M.M. KUMAR) (M.M. KUMAR) (M.M.
