IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.1401 of 2011 Date of Decision : January 24, 2011. Municipal Pensioners Association, Malout .....Petitioner versus The State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Ranjit Singh Kakkar, 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 is stated to be an Association representing the interest of retired employees of the Municipal Council, Malout, District Muktsar. The Association has approached this Court seeking various directions including the date bound deposit of the medical re-imbursement in the pension deposit accounts; to make remittance/time bound schedule at stipulated date for the deposits of their pension in their bank accounts; to make date bound addition of the periodical increase of the dearness allowance amounts and to release them the benefit of dearness allowance as per the 5th Pay Commission Report etc. It is averred that pursuant to the directions earlier issued by this Court in the case of the employees who are still in service, the C.W.P.No .1401 of 2011 2 respondents have already agreed to provide the above mentioned benefits in a time bound manner. In this regard, the petitioner-Association is also said to have represented the authorities with various representations including dated 19.11.2010, 9.12.2010 and 9.12.2010 (Annexures P-5 to P-7) for seeking parity with the serving employees but no action appears to have been taken on their representations so far. In these circumstances and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent Nos.2 to 6 to consider the claims of the petitioner-Association as contained in their afore-mentioned representations and redress the grievance of its members by passing a reasoned order, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. January 24, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
