IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civl Writ Petition No.17424 of 2011 Date of Decision : September 16, 2011. Krishan Dev and others .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Sapan Dhir, Advocate, for the petitioners. Ms.Sudeepti Sharma, DAG, Punjab. -.- 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) Notice of motion. Ms.Sudeepti Sharma, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on their behalf. Let five copies of the writ petition be supplied to the learned State counsel during the course of day failing which the order shall be automatically recalled and the writ petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed for non-prosecution. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to seek any counter reply from the respondents at this stage. CWP No.17424 of 2011 [2] The petitioners seek quashing of the orders dated 23.1.2006 (Annexure P-4) regarding re-fixation of their pay and consequential recovery. There can indeed be no dispute that similar recovery orders were quashed by this Court vide order dated 30.4.2008 passed in CWP No.12630 of 2007 (Sohan Lal and others versus State of Punjab and others). Thereafter much water has flown and a Full Bench of this Court in Budh Ram and others versus State of Haryana and others, 2009 (3) S.C.T.333 has held that no recovery in such like cases can be effected. In this context, only that the department has also taken a decision dated 15.7.2009 (Annexure P-8) to refund the recovered amount, which has not been given effect so far. In these circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of in terms of the order passed in Sohan Lal's case (supra) and the respondents are directed to do the needful within a period of six months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. September 16, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
