CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Ms. G.K. Mann, Advocate, for the petitioner. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) Mastar Tara Singh Memorial College for Women Charitable Trust, Chowk Master Tara Singh, Ludhiana, has approached this Court under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India praying for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to release the due grant-in-aid as admissible to the petitioner to enable the College to disburse the same to the teaching and non-teaching employees employed in it. It has been brought out that directions have already been issued by this Court while dealing with Civil Writ Petition No.14340 of 2006, titled ‘Arya College, Ludhiana vs. State of Punjab & Others’ decided on 18.12.2007, yet the grant-in-aid is not being released. Issue notice of motion. CWP No.4234 of 2009 [2] Mr. Kamaldeep Singh Sidhu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. I have heard the learned counsel. Learned counsel for the respondent-State has not been able to dispute the fact that similar petitions have earlier come up for hearing and directions have been issued to the respondent-State to release grant-in-aid. Learned counsel for the respondent-State says that there might be some objections raised by the authorities which would be required to be cleared. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and in terms of judgment rendered by this Court in Civil Writ Petition No.14340 of 2006, titled ‘Arya College, Ludhiana vs. State of Punjab & Others’ decided on 18.12.2007, it is directed that the respondents shall release 85% grant due to the petitioner, within three months after clearance of objections by the petitioner. So far as balance 15% of the amount of grant-in-aid is concerned, the petitioner may submit a separate representation to the respondents. The petition is allowed in the above terms.
