Notice of motion issued in the same, has<\/p>\n<p>been accepted by Mr. Anil Kumar Sharma, Additional Advocate General,<\/p>\n<p>Punjab on the asking of the Court. Mr. Sharma is instructed by<\/p>\n<p>Mr.Davinder Kumar, Superintendent, Regional Transport Authority,<\/p>\n<p>Patiala.\n<\/p>\n<p>               It is not disputed that all these writ petitions can be decided by<\/p>\n<p>a common order, as the facts are identical and only routes applied by the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners are different. Therefore, for facility of reference, facts are being<\/p>\n<p>gathered from Civil Writ Petition No.16099 of 2009 titled as &#8216;<a href=\"\/doc\/1922267\/\">Naib Singh v.<\/p>\n<p>State Transport Appellate Tribunal Punjab and<\/a> another&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>               Petitioner had applied for grant of Stage Carriage Permit to<\/p>\n<p>operate Mini Bus with four return trips daily on Kharar-Pabhat via<\/p>\n<p>Santemajra, Bhagomajra, Alipur, Nadiali, Safipur, Bakarpur, Rurki, Pabri,<\/p>\n<p>Manoli route. The request of the petitioner was declined by the State<\/p>\n<p>Transport Commissioner, Punjab on 31st October, 2007. Aggrieved<\/p>\n<p>against the same, petitioner had filed an appeal. The appellate authority<\/p>\n<p>dismissed the appeal by observing as under:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>               &#8220;6.    There is no dispute about the fact that the route in<br \/>\n       question, for which the mini bus permit has been sought by the<br \/>\n       appellant, is the formulated one. On such a route a mini bus<br \/>\n       permit can, of course, be granted on asking of the appellant<br \/>\n       but the competent authority had rejected his application on the<br \/>\n       ground that the Punjab Government had already published a<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No.16099 of 2009                                         3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>       draft scheme known as &#8216;The Punjab Mini Bus Service Scheme<br \/>\n       2007&#8217; vide a notification No.S.O.34\/C.A.59\/1986\/S.99\/2007<br \/>\n       dated 23.8.2007 under Section 99 of the Motor Vehicles Act,<br \/>\n       1988. Under the said draft scheme which is in offing, the<br \/>\n       operation of mini buses for plying as stage carriages is<br \/>\n       required to be undertaken by the private operators and STUs<br \/>\n       in a fixed ratio. It has been provided under Section 99(2) of the<br \/>\n       Act that where a proposal is published under the above said<br \/>\n       provision, then from the date of publication of such proposal,<br \/>\n       no permit shall be granted to any person. In view of this, the<br \/>\n       competent authority, in compliance of the provisions of<br \/>\n       Section 99(2) of the Act, has rightly rejected the application.<br \/>\n       The order has been passed after affording due opportunity of<br \/>\n       hearing to the appellant. The order passed is well reasoned<br \/>\n       and well considered. No interference is warranted in the same.<br \/>\n       As such, the appeal is dismissed being without any merit.<br \/>\n       Record of the RTA, if any, be returned.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>               One Gurdip Kaur, against the identical order passed, had<\/p>\n<p>preferred Civil Writ Petition No. 4646 of 2009. The appellate authority, in<\/p>\n<p>that case also, had declined the appeal by observing in verbatim what has<\/p>\n<p>been reproduced above as Para 6. After dealing with the various<\/p>\n<p>contentions, a Division Bench of this Court allowed the writ petition and<\/p>\n<p>observed as under:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>               &#8220;For the reasons afore-mentioned this petition succeeds<br \/>\n       and the same is allowed. The scheme is declared to have<br \/>\n       lapsed. The order dated 25.11.2008 (P.6) passed by the<br \/>\n       Tribunal is quashed. It is accordingly directed that the<br \/>\n       respondent State or its official shall not treat this scheme as<br \/>\n       operative. The State Transport Commissioner is directed to<br \/>\n       consider the application of the petitioner for grant of mini bus<br \/>\n       permit on Maur &#8211; Talwandi Sabo via Maur &#8211; Charat Singh &#8211;<br \/>\n       Mari &#8211; Mansa Burj Seikhpura &#8211; Lellewala route in accordance<br \/>\n       with law within a period of two months from the date of receipt<br \/>\n       of copy of this order. The petitioner shall also be entitled to his<br \/>\n       costs which is quantified as Rs.10,000\/-.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No.16099 of 2009                                       4<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>               Copy of order passed by Division Bench of this Court has<\/p>\n<p>been annexed as Annexure P-5. Thereafter, one Rupinder Singh along<\/p>\n<p>with other 22 persons, also preferred separate writ petitions. They were<\/p>\n<p>listed before a Single Bench of this Court. The Single Bench also noticed<\/p>\n<p>para 6 of the order passed by the appellate authority, which has been<\/p>\n<p>reproduced above, and disposed of all the writ petitions in the same terms<\/p>\n<p>as in case of Civil Writ Petition No. 4646 of 2009 titled as &#8216;Gurdip Kaur v.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>State of Punjab and others&#8217; decided on 16th July, 2009.<\/p>\n<p>               Mr. Anil Kumar Sharma, appearing for the State of Punjab, on<\/p>\n<p>instructions from Mr. Davinder Kumar, Superintendent, Regional Transport<\/p>\n<p>Authority, Patiala, has very fairly stated that all these writ petitions are<\/p>\n<p>covered by the ratio of law laid in Civil Writ Petition No. 4646 of 2009 titled<\/p>\n<p>as &#8216;<a href=\"\/doc\/1945907\/\">Gurdip Kaur v.
