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) It appears that the petitioner is entitled to certain payments in lieu of the construction work executed by it for the protection of the Forest and Agricultural Land of village Bhikhowal, Begpur etc. alongside the left bank of river Beas in District Hoshiarpur. It also appears that full payment has not been made to the petitioner on account of some inter se dispute between the Drainage Division of the Irrigation Department, Government of Punjab on one hand and the Punjab State Electricity Board on the other. The aggrieved petitioner has approached this Court. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to the Chief Engineer, C.W.P.No .247 of 2011 2 Drainage, Punjab and the Deputy Chief Engineer, Shahpur Kandi Power Circule, Punjab State Electricity Board (now Powercom), to hold a meeting within two weeks and release the petitioner's due payment within a period of two weeks thereafter, failing which the petitioner shall be entitled to interest @ 7% per annum. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. January 06, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
