State Transport Commissioner, Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Nonish Kumar, 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 seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents, especially the Additional State Transport Commissioner, Punjab, to transfer the ownership of vehicle No.PB-06-E-2805 alongwith the rights of the route permit No.769/Mini/GSP/2004, in his favour in accordance with the rules/Government policies. According to the petitioner, the above mentioned vehicle alongwith the route permit allotted on it are the ownership of one Kuldeep Kumar son of Chuni Lal, who has, due to some unavoidable circumstances, as sold the subject Bus to the petitioner alongwith rights of the route permit. Thereafter, the petitioner and said Kuldeep Kumar C.W.P.No .11969 of 2010 2 moved a joint application dated 16.1.2007 (Annexure P-1) for transfer of the ownership of the said vehicle alongwith the route permit in the name of the petitioner and the requisite fee prescribed for such transfer has also been deposited. It is further alleged that though various meetings have been called by respondent No.1 but no decision on the afore-said application has been taken so far and as per the list of pending matters published in the Weekly Gazette, the application moved by the petitioner is still pending consideration. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, however without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioner's claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.1 to take an appropriate decision on the petitioner's application stated to have been moved by him jointly with the previous owner of the vehicle in accordance with law/Rules, within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. July 09, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
