CWP No. 8193 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 8193 of 2011 DATE OF DECISION: May 09, 2011 Inderpal Singh .........PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Punjab and others ......RESPONDENT(S) CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA Present: Mr. R.S. Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). AJAI LAMBA, J. (ORAL) 1. It is not in dispute that permit to ply bus expired on 15.01.2007. The petitioner applied for renewal of the permit after 3 years. While considering issue, State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Punjab has declined the request of the petitioner while holding that the permit holder viz. the petitioner has not been using his permit in a fair manner. The permit was being used by way of unfair means in order to extract money by executing power of attornies time and again in favour of different persons. The petitioner had not been providing bus service to public travelling on the route in question. The petitioner has caused a loss to the State Exchequer because he failed to pay the necessary taxes to the government on account of non-operation of the bus service. 2. Learned counsel contends that he is ready to pay the penalty. 3. From the impugned order Annexure P-7 dated 15.02.2011, in para no. 10, I find that the said ground has also been dealt with by the authority while saying that payment of fine or penalty is no ground for renewal of CWP No. 8193 of 2011 2 permit if the conduct of the permit holder is found to be not fair. 4. Neither equity nor law favours the case of the petitioner. No ground for judicial review of the impugned order Annexure P-7 in extra ordinary writ jurisdiction is made out in view of the facts noticed above. 5. Petition dismissed. 09.05.2011 (AJAI LAMBA) shivani JUDGE
