(Oral) The petitioners seek a mandamus for grant of the benefit of proficiency step-up on completion of 16/24/32 years of service, under the A.C.P. Scheme dated 25.9.1998. They also rely upon the decisions of this Court dated 26.8.2009 passed in CWP No.8292 of 2008 (Surinder Pal versus The State of Punjab and others) and 11.8.2008 passed in CWP No.15839 of 2007 (Nirmal Kanta and another versus State of Haryana and others) (Annexures P-7 & P-8, respectively). The above stated relief has been lodged by the petitioners vide a legal notice dated 8.6.2011 (Annexure P-10) also, but without any response thereto so far. CWP No.17184 of 2011 [2] Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any views on the petitioners' entitlement, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent Nos.2 & 3 to consider the claim of the petitioner as contained in the aforementioned legal notice dated 8.6.2011 and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order, within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order.
