C.W.P. No.22337 of 2010 *** Ashok Raina Vs. State of Punjab and others Present: Mr. R.S. Manhas, Advocate for the petitioner. *** AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) Learned counsel for the petitioner states that for the grievances raised in the petition, the petitioner has already issued a legal notice dated 27.10.2010 (Annexure P-2). Since this matter relates to retrial benefits of the peti- tioner, in these circumstances, without going into the merits of the case, in my opinion, it would be in the interest of justice if respondent No.3 is directed to decide the said legal notice within a period of 8 weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order by passing a speaking order thereon. In case any amount is found due to the petitioner, the same shall be released to him within the afore- said period. With the aforesaid direction, this petition stands disposed of.
