CWP No. 22982 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH CWP No. 22982 of 2011 Date of decision December 12, 2011 Amarjit Singh ....... Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ........Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. Sandeep Vermani, Advocate for the petitioner. **** 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. The petitioner admittedly did not respond to the advertisement calling for application for allotment of fair price shops. The petitioner points out to the fact that amongst the allottees respondent Nos. 6 to 8 belong to the same family being the husband, wife and daughter and respondent Nos. 10 to 12 also belong to the same family being father and daughter. The petitioner would contend that members of the same family cannot be given the allotment in terms of the declared policy. The petitioner cannot have a cause for a complaint before this Court if he had not himself been an applicant in the advertisement. His contention that he had also applied earlier and the selection process was not completed cannot give to him a subsisting cause for a complaint now. The petitioner is at liberty to point out to the defects in allotment in the manner pointed out to this Court before the respondent Nos. 1 to 4 through an appropriate CWP No. 22982 of 2011 2 representation and the same shall be considered in the general public interest to ensure that the said policy is not flouted at the instance of the authority competent to make the allotment. Respondent Nos. 1 to 4 shall take appropriate decision in accordance with law within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of copy of the order. 2. The writ petition is disposed of. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE December 12 , 2011 archana
