Notice of motion. Ms. Monica Chhibber Sharma, learned DAG Punjab accepts notice on behalf of respondents No.1&2. Having regard to the nature of order which I propose to pass there is no necessity to call upon the respondent(s) to file their reply(ies)/affidavit(s), at this stage. (2). The petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct respondents No.3&4 to transfer the ownership of vehicle (bus) No.PB- 31-D-3996 as the petitioner wants to ply the same after obtaining the stage carrier permit. It is alleged that despite a communication dated 31.08.2010 (Annexure P4) CWP No.5183 of 2011.doc - 2 – sent by the Secretary, Regional Transport Authority, Bathinda to the third respondent, the ownership of the vehicle has not yet been transferred in the petitioners’ name. It is also averred that the documents, complete in all respects, have already been submitted with the Authorities. (3). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought by it, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondents No.3&4 to take appropriate decision on the application made by the petitioner for the transfer of ownership of the subject vehicle in its favour keeping in view the recommendations dated 31.08.2010 (Annexure P4) made by the Secretary, Regional Transport Authority, Bathinda within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. (4). Ordered accordingly. (5). Let a dasti copy of this order be handed over to Ms. Monica Chhibber Sharma, learned DAG Punjab for information and necessary action.
