IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 6598 of 2009. Date of Decision: 28th May, 2009. M/s Bathinda Bus Company Regd. Petitioner through Mr. H.S.Sawhney, Sr. Advocate with Mr. P.S.Bawa, Advocate Versus State Transport Appellate Tribunal & Ors.Respondents through Mr. Jagdish Marwaha, Advocate. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 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 is a Registered company. It seeks quashing of the order dated 24.10.2008 passed by the State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Punjab [for short 'the Tribunal']. The petitioner's grievance is that in the Revision Petition No. 97 of 2006 preferred by the Pepsu Road Transport Corporation and decided by the Tribunal vide its impugned order, M/s Mand Bus Service, Raikot, District Ludhiana was impleaded as the second respondent. The said Bus Service had already transferred its permit in favour of the petitioner Company and thereafter, was left with no interest in the revision petition. Since the petitioner Company had no knowledge of the pendency of the revision petition, it could not get itself impleaded in place of M/s Mand Bus Service. The precise grievance of the petitioner, thus, is that the impugned order has been passed without affording it an opportunity of hearing, though it has been adversely affected by the same. Notice of motion was issued and in response thereto, learned counsel for the respondents has put in appearance and fairly submits that he has no objection if the Tribunal is directed to decide the revision petition on merits. In this view of the matter, the writ petition is allowed; the impugned order dated 24.10.2008 is set aside and the Tribunal is directed to decide the Revision Petition No. 97 of 2006 afresh and on merits after hearing the parties concerned. It is clarified that for the purposes of decision of the revision petition, the petitioner shall be deemed to have been impleaded as respondent No. 2 in place of M/s Mand Bus Service. The parties are directed to appear before the Tribunal on 14.7.2009. The revision petition be decided as early as possible and preferably within three months from the date the parties put in appearance before the Tribunal. Disposed of. Dasti. May 28, 2009.
