IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.3318 of 1991 Date of decision: 30th November, 2009 Prem Coop. Transport Society Ltd. … Petitioner Versus State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Punjab and others … Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. Baldev Kapoor, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Anil Kumar Sharma, Addl. AG Punjab for the State. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) State Transport Commissioner, Punjab, exercising the powers of Regional Transport Authority, granted two stage carriage permits with two return trips daily to Pepsu Road Transport Corporation, Barnala on Malerkotla – Bathinda via Mahalkalan route. One permit with one return trip was kept vacant. Grievance of the petitioner was that he should have been allotted that permit. The appellate authority held that the State Transport Commissioner, Punjab was well justified to keep that route vacant, as Pepsu Road Transport Corporation, Barnala was giving service without any complaint. The order was passed by the appellate authority in November 1990. Present writ petition was admitted in year 1991 and no stay was granted. By efflux of time, ground realities have changed. Otherwise also, there is no infirmity in the orders passed by the appellate authority. Civil Writ Petition No.3318 of 1991 Hence, no interference is warranted and the present writ petition is dismissed. [KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA] JUDGE November 30, 2009 rps 2
