Mr.H.S.Brar, learned 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 grant her the licence of Fair Price Shop in accordance with the Government policy. It is averred that the petitioner is a Post Graduate and belongs to the backward class category and is entitled to be granted the above-mentioned licence as per the Government policy. However, the C.W.P.No .17560 of 2010 2 licence has not been issued to her despite approaching the respondent- authorities through various representations including dated 16.8.2010 (Annexure P-5). Having heard learned counsel for the parties 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 Nos.2 to 4 to consider and dispose of the afore-mentioned claim of the petitioner by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. September 28, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
