IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.17257 of 2010 Date of Decision : September 24, 2010. Jai Krishan .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Surinder Garg, 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 seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to release the arrears of revised pension and other benefits to which his father, who was a retired employee and has unfortunately passed away, was entitled to. It is averred that after the retrospective revision of pay scales w.e.f. 1.1.2006, the petitioner's father was entitled to the revised pension till his death on 26.4.2008 but the same was not granted to him. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have served the respondents with a legal notice dated 25.6.2010 (Annexure P-2) however, no action has been taken so far in this regard. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to C.W.P.No .17257 of 2010 2 dispose of the same with a direction to respondent Nos.2 & 3 to consider the above-noticed claim of the petitioner, also contained in the legal notice dated 25.6.2010 and redress his grievances by passing a speaking order within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Needless to say that whatever monetary benefits to which the petitioner's father is found entitled to, shall also be released to the petitioner within the stipulated period. Ordered accordingly.
