JUSTICE ALOK SINGH. 1. Whether reporters of local news papers may be Allowed to see judgment? 2. To be referred to reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr. Gaurav Dhir, D.A.G, Haryana, for the petitioners. Alok Singh, J. (Oral) Present petition is filed by the State-petitioners assailing the order dated 30.04.2010 passed by the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), U.T., Chandigarh, whereby the learned Trial Court has declined the further time to the defendants to file written statement and has struck off the defence of the defendants-petitioners herein. In the present petition, it has been alleged that the original service book of the plaintiff-respondent was with the C.R. No.5370 of 2010 Accountant General for fixation of pension, which was summoned from the office of Accountant General to prepare the written statement. However, the same was not made available within time, hence, written statement could not be filed. It has further been stated that now service book is available with the defendants and written statement shall be filed within such time as shall be fixed by this Court. Keeping in mind the peculiar facts and circumstances of this case, I direct that defendants-petitioners shall file written statement on or before 15.09.2010. However, defendants-petitioners shall pay Rs.10,000/- as cost to the plaintiff-respondent. The petition shall stand disposed of accordingly. August 25, 2010 ( Alok Singh ) vkd Judge 2
