JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI, ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH Present: Mr. B.P.S. Virk, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * * RANJAN GOGOI, A.C.J. (ORAL) This PIL has been filed seeking a direction to the respondents No. 1 to 4 to get an inquiry conducted regarding payment of old age pension to ineligible persons. It is the specific case of the writ petitioner that the respondents No. 7 to 13 though ineligible have been granted such pension. From the materials on record it appears that the writ petitioner had filed a representation in this regard to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patiala on 27.04.2010 and thereafter had served legal notice dated 08.09.2010 on the Deputy Commissioner, Patiala, Senior Superintendent of Police, Patiala and other authorities CWP No. 2092 of 2011 2 of the State. It also appears that pursuant to the legal notice issued by the writ petitioner the District Social Security Officer, Patiala has informed the writ petitioner by a letter dated 18.10.2010 that the verification of eligibility of the persons named in the complaint has been entrusted to the Child Development and Project Officer, Patran and as soon as the report is received from the Child Development and Project Officer, Patran the writ petitioner will be duly informed. From the above, it appears that action to determine the eligibility of the persons named in the writ petition to old age pension is presently going on. In such circumstances, we direct the inquiry to be completed within six weeks from today and the result thereof be communicated to the writ petitioner immediately thereafter. In the event the writ petitioner continues to feel aggrieved by such report as may be submitted or the action, if any, taken on the basis of the said report it will be open for him to approach this Court once again, if he is so advised. PIL stands disposed of in the above terms. (RANJAN GOGOI) ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH) JUDGE 04.02.2011 Amodh
