Kamlesh Rani Mittal .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Rajinder Kumar Singla, 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? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner has served the respondent-authorities with a legal notice dated 15.6.2010 (Annexure P-13) questioning the imposition of 3% extra social security fund as stamp duty charges. One of the petitioner's grievance is that despite acknowledging the receipt of the said legal notice, the Secretary, Revenue and Rehabilitation (Stamp and Registration Branch) Department, Government of Punjab, on 6.8.2010 (Annexure P14) has taken no decision thereupon and/or communicated to her. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioner's claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the C.W.P.No .19687 of 2010 2 Secretary, Revenue and Rehabilitation (Stamp and Registration Branch) Department, Government of Punjab, to consider and dispose of the claim as contained in the legal notice dated 15.6.2010 (Annexure P-13) by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. November 02, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
