Shadi Lal .....Petitioner versus Punjab State Electricity Board and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.H.S.Baath, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 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 petitioner is working as a Peon since 8.3.1976 in the respondent-Board. He alleges that respondent Nos.4 & 5, who are also Peons and are junior to him, are getting higher pay than him. On this premise, the petitioner further alleges 'anomaly' in his pay fixation. However, the details of the pay scales and/or pay fixation have not been furnished. Be that as it may, the Additional Executive Engineer of the Thermal Plant has vide his memo dated 21.7.2005 (Annexure P-3), recommended the case of the petitioner for removal of anomaly in his pay, but no final decision appears to have been taken by the competent authority thereon despite a subsequent representation dated 4.11.2004 C.W.P.No .12743 of 2010 2 (Annexure P-4) submitted by the petitioner. In these circumstances and without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioner's claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider the claim of the petitioner regarding removal of the alleged anomaly and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. September 08, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
