NJPC, would show that petitioner herein had been identified as a person entitled to benefits under the Scheme. Whether the reporters of Local Papers are allowed to see the Judgment? 2 Mr.Kuthiala has brought to my notice order dated 7th January, 2004 passed by this Court in cWP No. 178 of 1999, titled as Tara Chand vs. M/s Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd.

In view of the amended definition of the “family”, it is directed that the case of the petitioner will be reconsidered by respondent No.3 and in case it is found that he has become landless within the meaning of the amended definition, the requisite certificate shall be issued in his favour by respondent No.3 within two months from today and on such certificate being granted, respondent No.1 will process and decide the case of the petitioner for the grant of relief(s), if any, available to him under the scheme within three months from the date of submission of requisite application supported by certificate of the petitioner. The writ petition stands disposed of in the above said terms. No order as to costs. Dasti copy on usual terms. 24th April, 2007 (Sanjay Karol), J. (C)
