IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.17396 of 2010 Date of Decision : September 27, 2010. Rashpal Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.J.S.Toor, 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, who has retired from the post of A.D.O. from respondent No.2-Bank on attaining the age of superannuation, seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents for re-imbursement of the medical claim of the expenses incurred by him on the treatment of his wife- Sharanjit Kaur. The petitioner's case is that though the medical bills have already been submitted and thereafter, the respondents have been served with a legal notice dated 19.5.2010 (Annexure P-2), no decision has been taken by the respondents so far for re-imbursement of his medical claim. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner 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 & C.W.P.No .17396 of 2010 2 3 to consider and dispose of the above mentioned claim of the petitioner, as contained in the legal notice dated 19.5.2010 (Annexure P-2) also by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Suffice it to say that whatever amount the petitioner is found entitled to, the same shall be released in his favour within the stipulated period. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
