IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.1727 of 2007 Date of decision: 5th November, 2009 Pathankot Chambers of Commerce & Industry … Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others … Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. Kamaljit Singh, Senior Advocate with Mr. D.K. Singal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Anil Kumar Sharma, Addl. AG Punjab for respondent No.1. Mr. A.R. Takkar, Advocate for respondent No.2. Mr. D.R. Sharma, Advocate for respondent No.3. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Petitioner, Pathankot Chambers of Commerce & Industry, earlier filed Civil Writ Petition No. 16240 of 2005, which was decided on May 16, 2006 and the following order was passed: “Written statement on behalf of respondent No.2 filed in Court today is taken on record. A copy thereof has been handed over to the learned counsel for the petitioner. A preliminary objection has been raised in the written statement that the petitioner has not challenged the policy Annexure P/6. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, we dispose of the present writ petition with a liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh petition on the same cause of action by challenging the policy Annexure P/6, if so desired. Civil Writ Petition No.1727 of 2007 Disposed of with the liberty aforesaid. A copy of the order be given dasti on usual charges.” Present writ petition has been filed without assailing the policy. In the present petition, petitioner has sought quashing of letter (Annexure P-6) issued by the Superintendent of Department of Industries, where it has been communicated that the Government agrees to the proposal to earmark 20/30 per cent area for industrial housing. Neither the proposal nor the policy has been placed on record. Apparently, the present writ petition runs counter to the directions given by a Division Bench of this Court in order (Annexure P-7). Faced with this, counsel for the petitioner prays that he may be permitted to withdraw the present petition, with liberty to assail the policy. As prayed, dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty aforesaid. [KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA] JUDGE November 5, 2009 rps 2
