IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.17274 of 2010 Date of Decision : September 24, 2010. Sh.Sushil Kumar .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Naveen Bawa, 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 seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to release the arrears of his retiral benefits as per the pay scales revised w.e.f. 1.1.2006 as the petitioner retired from service w.e.f. 31.5.2008. Apparently, the petitioner is entitled to the arrears of revised pay for the period w.e.f. 1.1.2006 till his retirement and further the revision pension and other revised retiral benefits. It is averred that despite repeated representations, followed by a legal notice dated 18.8.2010 (Annexure P-3), the aforesaid reliefs have not been granted to the petitioner so far. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it C.W.P.No .17274 of 2010 2 appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent Nos.2 to 4 to consider and dispose of the above noticed claim of the petitioner, also contained in the legal notice dated 18.8.2010 by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Needless to say that whatever monetary benefits to which the petitioner is found entitled to, shall also be released to him within the stipulated period. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
