C.W.P No. 4070 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P No. 4070 of 2010 Date of Decision:- 28.07.2010 The Johror Rohi Co-op Transport Society Ltd., Johror Rohi, Distt. Sirsa ...Petitioner VERSUS The Secretary, Regional Transport Authority, Yamunanagar and others ..Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present: Mr. H.S. Sahney, Sr. Advocate with Mr. Vikas Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Ravi Dutt Sharma, DAG, Haryana SURYA KANT, J. (Oral) *** The petitioner-Transport Society alleges that it is unable to ply its bus on the allotted route due to the dilapidated condition of the bridge over West Yamuna Canal. The reply-affidavit filed by the respondents suggests that the PWD(B&R) department has started the construction of a new bridge at the site. The petitioner being unable to ply its bus as per the original route permit, it has applied for the alteration in the route permit temporarily till the new bridge is constructed. The grievance of the petitioner is that its application for alteration in the route permit has not been considered by the Competent Authority-respondent No. 2. Owing to the fact that the real sufferer for want of transportation facilities would be the public at large and the State Government does not appear to have inclination to complete the ongoing C.W.P No. 4070 of 2010 -2- construction of the new bridge, the writ petition is disposed of with the following directions:- (i) The petitioner's application for alteration in the route permit shall be considered and disposed of by respondent No. 2 in accordance with the Government Policy/Scheme within a period of two months; (ii) The Principal Secretary to Government of Haryana, PWD (B&R) department shall see that adequate funds are timely allocated for the construction of the new bridge at the site, as early as possible but not more than one year. Let a duly attested copy of this order be given under the signatures of the Bench Secretary to the learned State counsel for information and necessary compliance. Dasti.
