IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.15898 of 2010 Date of Decision : September 07, 2010. Rana Dalbir Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Onkar Singh, 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 has been allotted a Booth site in New Subzi Mandi, Dina Nagar, District Gurdaspur being the highest bidder. The respondent-authorities imposed penal interest @ 24% per annum due to delay/non-payment of the sale price, which was challenged by the petitioner in appeal. The Appellate Authority allowed his appeal in part by reducing the rate of interest from 24% to 15% per annum. Still aggrieved, the petitioner has approached this Court. The solitary contention raised by the petitioner is that since the possession of the plot has not been delivered to him, he is not liable to pay any interest. The aforesaid plea has been taken by the petitioner in his representation dated 16.4.2010 (Annexure P-5) also. C.W.P.No .15898 of 2010 2 As a writ Court need not go into the realm of the factual controversy, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider and dispose of the petitioner's aforestated representation (Annexure P-5) by passing a speaking order in accordance with law/Rules, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. September 07, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
