IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 8890 of 2010 Ramesh Dutt Nagar ...Petitioner Versus D.H.B.V. and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr. Manoj Chahal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Parveen Gupta, Advocate for Mr. Narender Hooda, Advocate for the respondents. RANJIT SINGH J. The grievance raised in the petition is for directing the respondents to pay the scale to the petitioner at par with similarly situated juniors with all consequential benefits like 1st and 2nd ACP and promotion from the date his juniors were promoted. The petitioner was not being granted all these benefits because he was required to pass the departmental examination. Concededly, the petitioner has now passed the departmental examination and this fact is even conceded in the reply filed. It is further conceded in the reply that the petitioner is now entitled to the benefit without any retrospective effect w.e.f. 09.01.2007. Since the relief claimed in the writ petition has been allowed, the writ petition is rendered infructuous. All the benefits due to the petitioner shall be released within a period of one month from today. January 07, 2011 (RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
