IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.3838 of 2011 Date of Decision : March 04, 2011. Dharam Paul .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Yogesh Goel, 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) The petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct the official respondents to hold a fact finding enquiry into the alleged illegal allotment of paddy by respondent Nos.7 to 12 in favour of respondent No.13. It is alleged that the allotment is an outcome of the connivance and collusion warranting investigation under the penal laws. The petitioner alleges that despite a legal notice dated 26.10.2010 (Annexure P-10) served on his behalf or the subsequent complaint dated 15.11.2010 (Annexure P-11) no tangible action in the matter has been taken by the higher authorities. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, however, without expressing any views on the allegations made, especially when the respondents have not been heard at this stage, I deem it appropriate to C.W.P.No .3838 of 2011 2 dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Principal Secretary to the Government of Punjab, Department of Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs, to get a fact finding enquiry conducted into the allegations levelled by the petitioner and take further appropriate action in accordance with law, if so required. The needful shall be done within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. March 04, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
