Shri Amol Rattan Singh, Addl: A.G.Punjab, for the respondents. *** T.S.Thakur, Chief Justice (Oral) After arguing the matter at some length, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are willing to withdraw the writ petition provided an inquiry into the allegations regarding sale in black market of subsidized Essential Commodities meant for public distribution is directed to be conducted by the Deputy Commissioner of the area. Mr. Amol Rattan Singh, counsel appearing for the respondents has no objection in case the writ petition is disposed of with a suitable direction to the Deputy Commissioner to look into the allegations made in the representation, if any, which the petitioners may make to Deputy Commissioner. In the circumstances, therefore, we dismiss this writ petition as withdrawn, reserving liberty to the petitioners to file a representation before the Deputy Commissioner, Moga against the alleged sale of subsidized ration meant for public distribution in Village Munawa Tehsil & District Moga, in the black market. In case a representation is filed by the petitioners within two months from today, the Deputy Commissioner, Moga shall look -2- CWP No. 13697 of 2007 into the same and take appropriate action against those found guilty apart from taking remedial measures to prevent the black marketing of the subsidized ration meant for distribution to the ration card holders. The Deputy Commissioner, Moga shall dispose of the representation expeditiously but not later than three months from the date the same is received. No costs.
