IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA C.W.P. No: 606 of 2010 Date of decision: 18.3.2010 Bilaspur J.P.Cement Industries Oustees & Affected Transport Cooperative Society Ltd. Petitioner Versus State of H.P. and others Respondents Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice R.B. Misra, Judge. For the Petitioner: Mr. Shrawan Dogra and Ashwani Pathak, Advocates For Respondents No. 1 to 3: Mr R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr. J.K.Verma, DAG. For Respondent No. 4: Mr. Anand Sharma and Mr. Rakesh Jaswal, Advocates Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The petitioner has filed this writ petition with the following prayers:- (i) The respondents No. 1 to 3 may be directed to insist upon due execution of agreement between respondent No. 4 and the petitioner society and other similarly situated Co operative Societies of District Bilaspur on the same lines on which they have insisted for execution of agreement in District Solan. (ii) The respondents may be directed to decide/settle the dispute between the Transport Co operative Societies in District Bilaspur, if any, within shortest possible time so that interests of the members of petitioner society are not affected. In principle, the parties agree that contract should be given to those land loosers and the affected parties, who have suffered, on account of installation of the cement plant. It is seen that the principle has been settled as per Annexure P-3 also. Therefore, the work is to be allotted proportionate to the land lost by the people and the extent of the injury others suffered on account of the project. The parties also agree that as far as 70% of the work, in respect of district Solan is concerned, there is no dispute. The dispute in this writ petition is only in respect of 30% of district Bilaspur. Learned counsel on both the sides suggest that being co operative societies formed by such land loosers and the affected parties, it will be appropriate that Registrar of Co operative Societies takes a decision in the matter with notice to all the parties. The Registrar Co operative Societies is hence directed to take a decision in the matter with notice to the Societies available in the area and the 4th respondent. The decision shall be taken within three weeks from the date of production of the copy of this judgment alongwith the copy of this writ petition by either side. The Registrar, Co operative Societies will see that owing to the inter se dispute among the societies, the 4th respondent is not put to any hardship. The arrangement as per interim order, dated 11.3.2010 will continue as such till the decision is taken by the Registrar, Co operative Societies. Learned Advocate General pointed out that the Registrar, Co operative Societies, may be given liberty to go into membership in the Societies also qua the land loosers and the affected parties. Needless to say that the Registrar, Co operative Societies will be free to do so because benefit is ultimately to be given only to those people. In the event of any law and order situation, it will be open to the 4th respondent to seek assistance of the police and the police will give necessary assistance. Copy dasti.
