Petitioner through Ms.Gagan Geet Kaur, Advocate v. M/S Hanuman Rice Traders Jawandha Road Sunam & another ...... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers 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 ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J The present writ petition has been filed challenging the order dated 13.10.2003 passed under Section 42 of the Punjab Agricultural Produce Markets Act, 1961 partly allowing the revision filed against the order dated 3.9.2002 of the Secretary, Punjab Mandi Board whereby he dismissed the appeal of the petitioner against the assessment order dated 21.8.2001. No reasons have been given in the petition for the delay of almost five years in filing this writ petition. Even otherwise, we find that the impugned order is a well reasoned order whereby the government has relieved the petitioner from double incidence of the payment of market fee C.W.P No. 16024 of 2008 ::2:: and RDF and the consequent order of penalty. Consequently, the writ petition is dismissed both on the ground of delay and laches as well as on merits. No costs. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE ( ADARSH KUMAR GOEL ) JUDGE September 09 , 2008 'kk'
