IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.12689 of 2010 Date of Decision : July 21, 2010. Buta Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Deepak Aggarwal, 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) Notice of motion. Mr.H.S.Brar, Additional Advocate General, Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to seek any counter-reply from the respondents at this stage. The petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to renew the permit granted to him to ply the Three-Wheeler (Tempo) on the route mentioned therein. It appears that the petitioner was granted the permit on 10.3.2004 (Annexure P-1) to ply the Three-Wheeler (Tempo) on Bhagta to Wander via Burj Tharon-Sarinwala Sukhanand route. The said permit has expired w.e.f. 9.3.2009. The petitioner applied for its renewal C.W.P.No .12689 of 2010 2 on 15.3.2009 but it appears that no decision on the renewal application has been taken so far. 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 respondent No.2 to consider and dispose of the petitioner's application for renewal of the permit as early as possible and preferably within a period of one month from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. July 21, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
