When this petition came up before us on 8.9.2008. Mr. Rana, learned counsel for the respondents sought time to verify the adequacy of the transport services available to the villages mentioned above. Mr. Rana CWP No. 6823 of 2006 [2] has today filed an affidavit in which it is, inter-alia, stated that the villages mentioned earlier, are properly serviced in terms of the transport service by a number of Cooperative Transport Societies who are running their bus service in the said area. The details of these Societies have also been given in the affidavit. What is important is that the respondents have secured certificates from the Sarpanches and Namberdars of the villages mentioned above, to the effect, that the said villages are properly serviced by the Transport Cooperative Societies mentioned in each of the said certificates. We have no reason to disbelieve the affidavit filed by the respondents or the certificates enclosed with the same. If the Sarpanches of the villages concerned are satisfied with the transport services provided to them, there is no reason for holding the same to be inadequate. At any rate, if the petitioner continues to have any grievance or if any deficiency is noticed at any stage, it shall be open to him to bring the same to the notice of the State Transport Controller of the Government of Haryana, Chandigarh, who shall look into the matter and take appropriate remedial steps. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with the above directions leaving the parties to bear their own costs. (T.S.THAKUR) CHIEF JUSTICE (JASBIR SINGH) JUDGE 03.12.2008 'ravinder'
