State of Punjab and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH * * * Present : Mr. T.S.Dhindsa, Advocate, for the petitioners. Ms. Sudeepti Sharma, DAG, Punjab. * * * AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL) Counsel for the State has produced in Court the decision of the Department of Finance dated 10.05.2011, according to which, the pay scale, as per the recommendation of the 5th Pay Commission, has been granted to the Recognized Private Aided Schools in the State of Punjab w.e.f. 01.01.2006. The pay as per revised scales will be given w.e.f. 01.04.2011. It has further been stated therein that the decision with regard to the payment of arrears w.e.f. 01.01.2006 shall be taken later on. The same is taken on record as Mark-A. C.W.P. No. 14875 of 2010 2 I have considered the matter and am of the view that issue has been delayed and the decision itself indicates that after due deliberations at the highest level, now a decision has been taken and that too, partly, leaving the matter still open with regard to the payment of arrears, which is not justified. Accordingly, a direction is issued to the State of Punjab, Department of Finance to take a decision on this aspect as well within a period of six months' from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. Petition stands disposed of accordingly. Copy of this order be given dasti under the signatures of the Court Secretary of this Court. (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH ) May 12, 2011 JUDGE pj
