Present : Mr.Rakesh Bhatia, 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-Industry claims that M/s Shreyance Industries Limited had issued three cheques bearing Nos.0033429, 0033430 & 0033431 dated 19.5.1999 for a sum of Rs.2 lacs in favour of respondent No.2 on behalf of the petitioner-company. The said cheques were allegedly cleared by the State Bank of Patiala, as is apparent from the certificate dated 15.3.2010 (Annexure P-4). It is alleged that respondent No2, however, claims that the said cheques were dishonoured for want of sufficient funds. Since respondent No.1 is the banker of respondent No.2, the petitioner is said to have approached respondent No.1 to verify and inform as to whether or not the cheques issued by M/s Shreyance Industries Limited and cleared by the State Bank of Patiala, were ever C.W.P.No .16833 of 2010 2 credited in the account of respondent No.2. Finding no response from the respondent-bank, the petitioner has approached this Court. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and subject to the condition that the information sought by the petitioner would not cause any prejudice to respondent No.2, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.1-bank to consider the representation dated 12.5.2010 (Annexure P-5) said to have been submitted by the petitioner, as per their policy and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. September 17, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
