Puri, Additional Advocate General, Punjab for the State. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) On June 29, 2010, this Court had passed the following order: The amended writ petition was filed, wherein it was stated that the petitioner was reinstated and he had not been paid the subsistence allowance for one year. A further claim has been made that the petitioner should have been paid the annual increment and his salary ought to have been fixed in the super-scale of Rs.3700-5200. It seems that since the enquiry could not be concluded within the stipulated time, the suspension of the petitioner was revoked and he was reinstated. State of Punjab has not filed any reply. Counsel for the State is also not aware regarding the outcome of the disciplinary proceedings. In these circumstances, one opportunity is granted to the State to respond to the averments made in the amended writ petition. List on 5th July, 2010. Civil Writ Petition No.16945 of 1989 A copy of this order, attested by the Special Secretary of this Court, be handed over to counsel for the State for onward transmission and compliance.” Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has lost contact with him and therefore, he is not aware as to whether the subsistence allowance was paid to him or not. Learned counsel prays that the present writ petition may be disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to revive the same, in case any of his grievances subsists. Prayer is accepted. Ordered accordingly. [KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA] JUDGE July 5, 2010 rps 2
