To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M. KUMAR, J. 1. The instant appeal under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against the judgment dated 12.11.2009 rendered by the learned Single Judge while disposing of the writ petition filed by the State of Haryana. The total financial burden revealed by order of the learned Single Judge is approximately ` 67,000/-. Keeping in view the aforesaid fact, we are not inclined to interfere in the order passed by the learned Single Judge. However, the same shall not be cited and treated as a precedent because the order has been passed by striking out the defence, which might have been preferred by the appellant-State. LPA No. 1159 of 2010 -2- Moreover, Mr. Aman Chaudhary, learned State counsel has pointed out the writ petition-respondent himself was responsible for filing of the written statement and action against him is in the offing. 2. In view of the above, we dismiss the appeal. However, we clarify that dismissal of the appeal shall not cause any obstacle in the ways of the appellant-State to take action against the writ petitioner-respondent, if he is found guilty of obstructing the filing of written statement before the learned Single Judge. 3. Accordingly, the appeal is disposed of in above terms. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (GURDEV SINGH) JUDGE July 13, 2011 Atul
