Mr.Sudeepti Sharma, DAG, Punjab, for respondent Nos.1 to 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? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) Notice of motion to respondent Nos.1 to 4 only at this stage. Ms.Sudeepti Sharma, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab accepts notice on their behalf. Let four copies of the writ petition be handed over to her during the course of day. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, neither there is any necessity to issue notice to respondent No.5 nor any reply from respondent Nos.1 to 4 is needed at this stage. The petitioner has retired from the post of Sanitary Inspector from the Municipal Council, Gidderbaha w.e.f. 30.4.2010 on attaining the age of superannuation. His grievance is that though all the other C.W.P.No .4294 of 2011 2 pensionary benefits have been granted to him but his pension as well as the arrears of revised pay scale w.e.f. 1.1.2006 and the benefits of 9/14 years of service have not been released so far. The above stated claim has been raised by the petitioner vide legal notice dated 12.1.2011 (Annexure P-1) also to which the respondents have given reply dated 22.2.2011 (Annexure P-2) rejecting the said claim. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the fact that there is no legal impediment against the grant of service/retiral benefits, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent Nos.2 to 5 to consider the above mentioned claim of the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order, failing which the petitioner shall be entitled to the interest @ 7% per annum. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. March 10, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
