Mr. D.S.Patwalia, Advocate for respondent Nos.2 and 3. ... Rajan Gupta,J.(Oral) This is a petition seeking a writ of certiorari for quashing impugned order/letter dated 27.9.1999 (Annexure P-6) passed by respondent no.3 and also a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to grant regular increments to the petitioner and to fix his pay accordingly from the date the same were granted to his juniors . Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that a similarly placed employee, namely, Parminder Singh was granted the benefit of increments as prayed for in the instant petition by the Labour Court, vide its award dated 6th April, 1995 (Annexure P-7). According to the counsel, the CWP No. 3097 of 2000 2 Milk Union, Bathinda preferred Civil Writ Petition No. 119 of 1996 against the said order, which was dismissed vide order dated 12th August, 1997 (Annexure P-8). Learned counsel submits that in view of the fact that the petitioner is similarly placed, his case deserves to be considered by the concerned authority. Admittedly, when order Annexure P-6 declining annual increments to the petitioners for the period of ad hoc service was passed, orders Annexure P-7 and P-8 were not taken into consideration. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent Nos.2 and 3 submits that the concerned authority shall reconsider the case of the petitioner and pass an appropriate order. In view of the statement made by learned counsel, no further orders are called for. It is however directed that the case of the petitioner shall be considered expeditiously and appropriate decision be taken thereon after considering the facts and circumstances of the case including orders Annexures P-7 and P-8, preferably within three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.
