Harbans Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Rakesh Gupta, 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) On the oral prayer made by counsel for the petitioner, (i) the Punjabi University, Patiala through its Registrar and (ii) the Vice Chancellor, Punjabi University, Patiala are ordered to be impleaded as respondent Nos.4 & 5, respectively. The petitioner retired as an Assistant Registrar from respondent No.4-University on attaining the age of superannuation w.e.f. 31.5.2007. He now seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to re-fix his pay as on 3.2.2005 and as a consequent thereto, re-fix his pension and pay him the arrears thereof alongwith interest. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have firstly represented the authorities on 23.4.2008 (Annexure P-3) but there being no redressal of his grievances, he served them with a C.W.P.No .16642 of 2010 2 legal notice on 20.4.2010 (Annexure P-4). However, there is no response to the legal notice also. In these circumstances and keeping in view the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent Nos.4 & 5 to consider the claim of the petitioner, as contained in the afore-mentioned legal notice (Annexure P-4) 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 16, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
