State of Punjab & another. -----Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SINGH Present:- Appellant in person and Mr. Ravindra Jain, Advocate for the appellant. --- ORDER: 1. This appeal has been preferred against order of learned Single Judge, dismissing the writ petition of the appellant seeking quashing of order of the executing Court, as affirmed by this Court and also seeking direction to allow compound interest on delayed payment of retiral benefits. 2. The appellant was prematurely retired from service on 31.10.1979. He filed a suit, which was partly decreed and the matter was finalised by order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court dated 13.7.1987 in S.L.P. (Civil) No.6625 of 1987. Thereafter, in execution, his claim was settled by granting the amount mentioned in para 7 of the judgment of learned Single Judge. LPA No.424 of 2010 The said order was upheld in revision petition filed in this Court vide order dated 12.8.2003, against which, SLP was dismissed on 10.12.2004, review petition was dismissed on 6.7.2005 and Curative Petition was dismissed on 23.9.2008. Thereafter, the appellant filed writ petition, giving arise to the impugned order. Learned Single Judge held that the matter was res judicata as the same issue had been gone into in the revision petition arising out of order of the executing Court, which was further carried in proceedings before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. 3. We have heard the appellant in person and also his counsel who appeared before learned Single Judge. 4. It is not disputed that the claim of the appellant arising out of the decree had already been gone into in execution proceedings and was also adjudicated upon by this Court in revision and thereafter, by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. The same issue cannot be taken up again in a writ petition. 5. We, thus, do not find any ground to interfere with the view taken by the learned Single Judge. 6. The appeal is dismissed.
