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 is a licensee in the Vegetable Market, Sector- 26, Chandigarh and is aggrieved at the order dated 25.6.2010 (Annexure P9) passed by the Market Committee, Chandigarh, whereby allotment of the vegetable shed to the petitioner has been cancelled on the premise that the petitioner was not in occupation of the said shed as on 10.6.2007, namely, the cut-off date fixed by the Appellate Authority-cum-Secretary, Agriculture, U.T. Chandigarh vide its order dated 18.11.2009/11.1.2010 passed in the case of M/s Ahuja and Company versus Ahuja and Company and others (Annexure P-10). The petitioner's case is that he was in occupation of the shed as on 10.6.2007 and, thus, the shed was rightly allotted in its favour after the re-construction. C.W.P.No .11636 of 2010 2 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the considered view that since the impugned order is appealable, the petitioner has got an effective alternative remedy to approach the Appellate Authority and prove that as on the cut-off date, i.e., 10.6.2007, he was very much in occupation of the open shed. It is directed that the Appellate Authority shall specifically deal with the issue as to whether or not the petitioner was in occupation of the site/shed on 10.6.2007. There shall be status-quo for a period of one week to enable the petitioner to approach the Appellate Authority. Disposed of . Dasti. July 06, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
