IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.21601 of 2010 Date of Decision : December 03, 2010. M/s Avian Knitcrafts .....Petitioner versus Union of India and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Rakesh Bhatia, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 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? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct the Oriental Insurance Company Limited-respondent No.2 to remit a sum of Rs.21.47 to respondent No.3-bank out of the `fire claim' said to have been sanctioned for a sum of Rs.41 lacs approximately as per the Surveyor report. It is averred that the petitioner has already requested the respondent-Insurance Company to remit the above mentioned amount to respondent No.3-bank as the petitioner's account has been declared NPA and action under the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (hereinafter referred to as 'the 2002 Act') is likely to be taken. It is further averred that the petitioner's C.W.P.No .21601 of 2010 2 insurance claim on account of the loss caused by the fire to the tune of Rs.41 lacs, has already been sanctioned. For the afore-said relief, the petitioner has already approached the respondent-Insurance Company vide representation dated 15.10.2010 (Annexure P-10) also but without any response thereto. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition and its urgency, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioner's claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent No.2-Insurance Company that in case the petitioner's above- mentioned insurance claim has already been accepted and sanctioned and if there is no other legal embargo, let a sum of Rs.21.47 lacs out of said sanctioned amount be directly remitted to respondent No.2-bank within a period of two weeks from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. December 03, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
