C.W.P No. 3888 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P No. 3888 of 2009 Decided On : 10.03.2009 Pargat Singh ...Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Mr. Rahul Chhatwal, Advocate, for the petitioner. SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 04.02.2009 (Annexure P-8) passed by the State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Punjab, whereby his appeal has been disposed of with a direction to the respondents to reconsider his claim for the grant of contract Stage Carriage Permit for tempo operation, after finalization of a Draft Scheme and to adjust the permit fee already deposited by him towards the fee required to be deposited under the said Scheme. It is urged on behalf of the petitioner that in the case of other applicants, the Appellate Tribunal has passed the order dated 20.02.2007 whereby directions were issued to the State C.W.P No. 3888 of 2009 -2- Government to issue them permits even pending finalization of the Scheme. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, I do not find any merit in the aforesaid contention. In view of the expressed embargo created under Section 99 (2) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, no regular contract Carriage Permit can be granted, when finalization of some Scheme is under progress. Consequently, this writ petition is disposed of in the same terms as, CWP No.9724 of 2008 (Kartar Singh vs. State Transport Appellate Tribunal and anr.) MARCH 10, 2009 (SURYA KANT) shalini JUDGE
