Mrs.Roma Dass and another .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Jatin Salwan, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 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? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioners served as Associate Professors before their retirement w.e.f. 31.1.2008 and 30.9.2007 respectively, in D.A.V. College of Education, Amritsar which receives grant-in-aid from the State Government. The petitioners now seek a mandamus to direct the respondents to implement the Government Notification dated 2.9.2009 (Annexure P-2) and Circular dated 17.8.2009 (Annexure P-3) and to grant them the consequential arrears of revised pay, re-fix their pension and also to release the revised gratuity and other incidental benefits. It may be noticed here that vide the above-mentioned Notification dated 2.9.2009 (Annexure P-2), the Government of Punjab C.W.P.No .16471 of 2010 2 has revised the pay scales of College teachers retrospectively w.e.f. 1.1.2006. Obviously the petitioners are also entitled to these revised pay scales w.e.f. 1.1.2006 till the dates of their retirement. The aforesaid benefits, however, have not been granted to them despite serving a legal notice dated 28.6.2010 (Annexure P-6) on their behalf. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to the respondents to consider the above mentioned claim of the petitioners and grant them the necessary relief, as may be found admissible to them, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. September 14, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
