No. 8705 of 2011 Date of Decision: September 06, 2011 Dhuri Bus Service Dhuri. ….Petitioner Versus The Regional Transport Authority, Patiala and others. … Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SINGH Present: Mr. P.S. Bawa, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Jaswinder Singh, DAG, Punjab, for respondent Nos. 1 to 3. Mr. Dinesh Nagar, Advocate, for respondent Nos. 4 and 5. 1. Whether reporters of local news papers may be allowed to see judgment? 2. To be referred to reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Alok Singh, J. (Oral) Mr. Dinesh Nagar, Advocate, appearing on behalf of respondent Nos. 4 and 5 has made statement at the bar, after having instructions from respondent Nos. 4 and 5, to the effect that respondent Nos. 4 and 5 were authorized by respondent No.3 to check the permit of the petitioner. He further states that since petitioner has failed to show his CWP No. 8705 of 2011 permit to the respondents, therefore, he is not being allowed to ply the vehicle on the route in question. On being asked by this Court, neither Mr. Jaswinder Singh, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, nor learned counsel, appearing on behalf of respondent Nos. 4 and 5, are able to tell under what provision of law, respondent No.3 i.e. General Manager of Punjab Roadways, Jagraon, can authorize respondent Nos. 4 and 5 to check the permit of the private operators. Mr. Jaswinder Singh, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, however, contends that neither respondent No.3 has authorized respondent Nos. 4 and 5 to check the permit nor had any authority to authorize respondent Nos. 4 and 5 to check the permit of the private operators. Learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, has further stated that if petitioner appears before respondent No.1 and shows his permit to him within a week, he shall be allowed to ply his bus as per the permit in accordance with law. In view of the statement made by the learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, learned counsel for the petitioner intends to withdraw this petition with liberty to file fresh if any cause of action arises in favour of the petitioner. 2 CWP No. 8705 of 2011 Present petition is dismissed as withdrawn with the aforesaid liberty.
