Tarsem Lal Loona .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Randhir Singh Manhas, 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 retired from the Transport Department, Government of Punjab, as a Junior Assistant w.e.f. 28.2.2011 on attaining the age of superannuation. Some of his retiral benefits have been with-held on the premise that disciplinary proceedings pursuant to the charge-sheet dated 3.7.2002 are still pending. The petitioner is said to have made a representation to the competent authority for the withdrawal of the charge- sheet. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the fact that due to the pendency of the charge-sheet full benefits have not been given to the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ CWP No.16200 of 2011 [2] petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider and dispose of the representation said to have been made by the petitioner for the withdrawal of the charge-sheet, within a period of one month from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. In case respondent No.2 decides not to drop the charge-sheet, in that event it is directed that the enquiry shall be completed, subject to the petitioner's co-operation, within a period of five months from the date of passing a speaking order on the representation made by the petitioner. Meanwhile, subject to the final outcome of the disciplinary proceedings, the undisputed retiral dues be also released to the petitioner. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
