IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 7819 of 2009 Date of Decision: May 21, 2009 Ram Kumar and others ...... Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and others ...... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari Present: Mr.Sanjay Vashishth, Advocate for the petitioners. **** 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Ajay Tewari, J. In this writ petition the petitioners are claiming free bus passes. An earlier writ petition No. 18533 of 2005 was filed by the petitioners which was disposed of with the following order dated 24.10.2008:- “Learned counsel for the petitioners states that the petitioners would be satisfied,if this Writ petition is treated as a representation and respondent No.2 be directed to pass a speaking order within a stipulated period. Respondent No.2 i.e. the Transport Commissioner, Haryana Civil Secretariat, Chandigarh is directed to treat this Writ Petition as a representation and pass a speaking order after taking all the relevant facts and law into CWP No. 7819 of 2009 -2- consideration, within a period of two months from the date of receiving of this order. Petition is disposed of as such.” Learned counsel for the petitioners has stated that actually respondent No.2 i.e. the Transport Commissioner, Haryana was not competent to decide the representation which should have been decided by respondent No.1. Even though this should have been pointed out by the counsel at that time yet in the interest of justice I feel that the respondent No.1 should decide the representation (Annexure P-7) of the petitioner by passing a speaking order thereon within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. With the above said direction this writ petition stands disposed of. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE May 21, 2009 sunita
