Mr. S.S.Rangi, Advocate for respondent No.4. **** 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? Ajay Tewari, J. This petition is stated to be covered by the Division Bench judgment of this Court dated 21.07.2008 rendered in CWP No. 15554 of 2007, Gian Chand and others v. State of Punjab and others. From a perusal of the averments made in the writ petition, these facts are borne out. Written statement has been filed on behalf of respondent No.4 controverting the pleas raised by the petitioners in their writ petition. However, it has been brought to my notice that SLP bearing No. 25856 of 2008 has been filed by the State of Punjab against the CWP No. 1830 of 2008 -2- judgment in Gian Chand's case wherein the Hon'ble Supreme Court has issued notice and passed an order staying contempt proceedings, if any. In the circumstances it is directed that the increased pension shall be payable to the petitioners within two months of the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order subject to the petitioners furnishing undertakings to the respective Drawing and Disbursing Officers that they would refund the amount in lumpsum in the event of the appeal of the State of Punjab mentioned above being allowed. The arrears would be released to the petitioners only after the decision of the above mentioned SLP.
