THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition (M/S) No. 95 of 2011. Smt. Shobha Devi Mehta …Petitioner. Vs. The State of Uttarakhand and others. …Respondents. Mr. Jitendra Chaudhary, Advocate, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. K.P.Upadhyay, learned Addl. C.S.C. for the respondents. Date January 10, 2011. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. (Stay Application No. 341 of 2011) (Urgency Application No. 112 of 2011) Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of certiorari quashing the impugned advertisement dated 4-12-2010 and 8-1-2011 (Annexure-1) issued by respondent no. 3, i.e. Executive Engineer, Temporary Division, P.W.D. Berinag, district Pithoragarh. Petitioner has further sought a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to extend the lease dated 1-4-2010 of the petitioner for next three months (April to June 2011). Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that due to heavy rain fall in the year 2010, most of the roads in the State were damaged and the route in question was also blocked due to land slide and the bridge in question was also not in use for about two months. Learned counsel for the petitioner, therefore, argued that according to clause 25 of the agreement of lease, the Commissioner of the Division has a power to alter the lease period. During the course of arguments, learned counsel for the petitioner urged that the ends of justice would be served if a direction is issued to the learned Commissioner to decide the representation made by the petitioner. It appears that a representation was made by the petitioner to the District Magistrate/Collector on 14-9-2010 and not to the Commissioner. In the circumstances of the case, liberty is given to the petitioner to make a representation to the Commissioner of the 2 Division in the matter. If a representation is so made, the Commissioner of the Division shall decide the same in accordance with law expeditiously, within a period of two weeks from the date of production of a certified copy of this order along with the representation. With the above observation, the writ petition is disposed of finally. All pending applications also stand disposed of. (B.S.Verma, J.) RCP Vacation Judge.
