IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.O.C.P. No.711 of 2007 Date of Decision:- 04.02.2008 Brij Lal Wadhwa ....Petitioner(s) through Mr.R.S.Longia, Advocate. vs. Sh.Partap Singh & Anil Kumar ....Respondent(s) through Mr.R.S.Kundu, Addl.AG, Haryana. Mr.Sanjay Chauhan, Advocate. *** CORAM:-HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. *** 1) Whether Reporters of the 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 filed C.W.P.No.10464 of 2004 which was allowed by this Court vide judgment dated 17.4.2006 with a direction to the respondents to release the petitioner's retiral benefits along with interest at the rate of 12% per annum. Alleging non-compliance of the above-stated order that this contempt petition has been filed. In response to the show cause notice, reply/affidavit has been filed by the Executive Officer of Municipal Council, Ambala Cantt in which the details regarding various payments made to the petitioner along with interest at the rate of 12% per annum, as directed by this Court, have been given. C.O.C.P. No.711 of 2007 -2- The details of payments made to the petitioner under different heads along with interest calculated thereupon have been furnished in a tabulated form also. It, thus, appears that the directions issued by this Court have been substantially complied with by the respondents. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, contends that there are certain more monetary benefits including the arrears of commuted pension upon which the petitioner is entitled for payment of interest. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, I am satisfied that the directions issued by this Court have been substantially complied with and as such, there is no justification to continue with these contempt proceedings. However, if the petitioner disputes the manner in which the arrears and/or interest have been calculated by the respondents, he may represent the Authorities giving such details in a tabulated form and if any such representation is received from the petitioner, the Executive Officer of the Municipal Council, Ambala Cantt, shall consider the same in accordance with rules and the judgment passed by this Court, within a period of three months from the date it is received. Needless to say that if any additional benefit is found payable to the petitioner, the same shall be released to him forthwith along with interest as directed by this Court. Rule discharged.
