Punjab Leather Federation .....Petitioner versus Deputy Commissioner, Jalandhar and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Samarth Sagar, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) One Lt.Col.(Retd.) J.S.Paul has been served with a show cause notice dated 15.1.2010 (Annexure P-13) to explain the allegations pertaining to his election as President of the Punjab Leather Federation. Vide his reply dated 28.1.2010 (Annexure P-14), Lt. Col. J.S.Paul questioned the very authority of Additional Registrar of the Societies who issued the said show cause notice. His objection has been turned down vide communication dated 18.3.2010 (Annexure P-15) and he has been asked to submit a parawise reply to the show cause notice. Aggrieved, the Federation (instead of Lt.Col.J.S.Paul), has approached this Court. In my considered view, the writ petition is pre-mature at this C.W.P.No .9047 of 2010 2 stage. The petitioner, if so advised, may submit a parawise reply alongwith its preliminary objections questioning the competence of the authority who has issued the show cause notice. It is directed that in case the petitioner or Lt.Col.J.S.Paul submits any reply within a period of two weeks, the Additional Registrar of the Societies shall dispose of the same by passing a speaking order and shall also comment upon the objection about his competence to issue the show cause notice. If any final decision is taken against the petitioner, the same shall not be given effect for a period of two weeks to enable the petitioner to seek redressal of his grievance against the said order before an appropriate forum. Disposed of accordingly. Dasti. August 18, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
