Pran Singh Sethi .....Petitioner versus The State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Malkeet Singh, 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 alleges himself to be victim of 1984 anti-Sikh riots. He seeks a direction to the respondent-authorities to allot a plot or booth to his adopted son in terms of the policy framed by the State of Punjab. The petitioner avers that though his adopted son is fully eligible for the aforesaid relief, yet he has been denied allotment in an arbitrary and discriminatory manner. In this regard, the petitioner has represented the authorities several times including vide representations dated 7.6.2008, 4.4.2010 and 5.5.2010 (Annexures P-2, P-3 and P-4) but without any response thereto. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, C.W.P.No .13818 of 2010 2 without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioner's claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent Nos.2 to 4 to consider and dispose of the petitioner's above-mentioned representations by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. August 09, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
