IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P NO. 1315 OF 2008 DECIDED ON : 28.01.2009 Jodh Singh and another ...Petitioners versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Mr. Mohit Garg, Advocate, for the petitioners. SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) Notice of motion. On the asking of the Court, Mr. G. S. Attariwala, Additional AG, Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. The petitioners, who claim themselves to be the victims of 1984 riots, seek a direction for issuance of Red-Cards so as to enable them to get facilities/ help/ grant/ compensation in terms of the Government Policies issued from time to time. It is the petitioners' case that petitioner No.1 had a furniture shop in Delhi in the name and style of 'M/S A.G. Furnitures', 202/20, Onkar Nagar-B, Tri Nagar, Delhi-35. The said business was allegedly lost in the 1984 riots. This is also the petitioners' case that whatever documents were asked by the respondent authorities to enlist them as the 'riot victims' and for C.W.P NO. 1315 OF 2008 -2- issuance of Red-Cards to them, have already been supplied by them, yet no final decision is being taken in the matter. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and without expressing any views on merits of the petitioners' claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the material/information supplied by the petitioners for inclusion of their names among the riot victims and in case the same is found genuine, to issue them the Red-Cards so as to enable them to get the benefit of government policies. The needful shall be done within a period of one month from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. JANUARY 28, 2009 (SURYA KANT) shalini JUDGE
