IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.21718 of 2010 Date of Decision : February 02, 2011. Subash Gupta .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Shakun Kumar Choudhary, 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 seeks a mandamus to direct the Improvement Trust, Pathankot as well as the District Administration to allow him to run his business in the shop allegedly taken by him on rent and which, according to him, does not fall within the unauthorised encroachments. It appears from the vague and evasive averments made in the writ petition that pursuant to its drive against the unauthorised encroachments/constructions, the Improvement Trust, Pathankot has carried out certain measurements and the premises occupied by the petitioner has also been identified amongst the unauthorised encroachments. However, no action whatsoever has been taken against the petitioner so far. Meanwhile, the petitioner has represented the authorities C.W.P.No .21718 of 2010 2 on 14.11.2010 (Annexure P-4) followed by initiation of these proceedings. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, however, without expressing any views on the claim made by the petitioner and keeping in view the fact that he has already made representation/ objections to the Executive Engineer of the Improvement Trust, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.3 to consider the afore-stated representation/objections made by the petitioner before taking any lawful action against him. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. February 02, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
