C.W.P NO. 7405 OF 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P NO. 7405 OF 2009 DECIDED ON : 15.05.2009 M/S Jain High Way Resorts ...Petitioner versus Union of India and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Mr. Alok Jain, Advocate, for the petitioner. SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) Notice of motion to respondents No.1 to 4, 8 and 9. Ms. Amanpreet Kaur Sandhu, Advocate, accepts notice on behalf of respondents No.1 to 4 and Mr. G.S. Attariwala, Additional AG, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of respondents No.8 and 9. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no necessity to call for counter-affidavits from the official respondents. The petitioner seeks a direction to respondents No. 1 and 2 for execution of the License-Deed in respect of the Passenger Oriented Wayside Amenities at KM 398-399 near village Gumjal, Tehsil Abohar, District Ferozepur on National Highway C.W.P NO. 7405 OF 2009 -2- No.15. The petitioner's apprehension is that on account of inordinate delay in registration of the License Deed, his retail outlet dealership awarded by the Indian Oil Corporation, is likely to be terminated as is apparent from the notice dated 09.02.2009 (Annexure P-34). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any views on the petitioner's claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondents No.8 and 9 to examine and process the draft License Deed (Annexure P-32) which the petitioner has already submitted to them and in case the same is found in order, to forward the same to respondent No.2 within one month. As and when the License Deed forwarded by respondents No.8 and 9 is received, respondents No.1 and 2 are directed to take necessary decision with regard thereto in accordance with law/Policy within a period of one month from the date of its receipt. Disposed of. MAY 15, 2009 (SURYA KANT) shalini JUDGE
