Hardeep Kaur .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Mansur Ali, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.A.S.Grewal, Additional Advocate General, Punjab. -.- 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? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) Notice of motion. Mr.A.S.Grewal, learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to seek any counter-reply from the respondents at this stage. The petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents including the Deputy Commissioner, Ludhiana, to issue the Identity Card/Red Card to her being the victim of 1984 Riots. The aforesaid card is required to be issued in terms of the Government of India Policy dated 16.1.2006 (Annexure P-6). C.W.P.No .21093 of 2010 2 The grievance of the petitioner is that despite several representations/applications moved by her, the Deputy Commissioner, Ludhiana, who is the Prescribed Authority to issue the card, is sitting tight over the matter. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and without expressing any views on the entitlement of the petitioner for issuance of the aforesaid card, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Deputy Commissioner, Ludhiana to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 16.6.2009 (Annexure P-11) and dispose of her pending claim by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. November 26, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
