The petitioners-societies are running a transport Company and were allotted route permits to ply of buses from Jind, Narwana Mandi, Uchana etc. Due to law and order problem prevailing in villages Ghogrian, Chatter etc. falling on the routes, the buses of the petitioners-companies could not ply. The petitioners were granted alternative route permits to ply their buses purely as a stop gap arrangement only till the time original routes allotted to them became normal. The petitioners have filed the present writ petition to permit them to continue on the alternative routes and provisional routes granted to them till the situation improves. Notice of motion in this case was issued limited only to find out whether the law order still persists on the original routes Civil Writ Petition No. 2880 of 2011 -2- allotted to the petitioner. This fact though not denied. Counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to order Annexure P-13, where the Division Bench of this Court had observed that it is not possible for the Courts to ascertain the correct situation as regards law and order situation. The matter was, accordingly, sent back to the competent authority to re-examine the same. The writ petition was disposed of with the permission to permit the petitioner to operate on the alternative route till the decision in this regard is taken by the competent authority. Adopting the same course, the present writ petition is also disposed of with the direction that competent authority may decide the prayer of the petitioners in the light of the factual position and till the date of decision, the petitioners may be permitted to operate on the alternative routes. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. May 30, 2011 (RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
