IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 19159 of 2008. Date of Decision: 10.11.2008. Paramjit Singh ....Petitioner Versus The Food Corporation of India ....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NAWAB SINGH Present : Mr. B.S. Sidhu, 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 ? HEMANT GUPTA. J. The challenge in the present writ petition is to the communication dated 3/4.10.2008 (Annexure P-5) whereby, the handling and transport contract awarded to the petitioner was terminated in respect of handling under Clause IX(iii) of the Agreement. The sole argument raised by learned counsel for the petitioner is that in terms of the aforesaid clause, the agreement can be terminated in its entirety and not in part. We do not find any merit in the said argument. If the agreement can be terminated as a whole, it necessarily implies that part of the agreement can also be terminated. Apart from the said fact, we are of the opinion that even if the agreement has been wrongfully terminated, the petitioner has effective alternative remedy of claiming damages for wrongful termination of the agreement in the civil suit. We do not find any merit in the present writ petition and the CWP No. 19159 of 2008. (2) same is hereby dismissed. However, it shall be open to the petitioner to seek his remedy of damages on establishing wrongful termination and the extent of damages from the appropriate Court.
