IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No. 1373 of 2007 Date of Decision : 29.01.2007 Gurpiar Singh ... Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others. .. Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE J.S. KHEHAR, HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.D. ANAND. Present : Mr. R.C. Chatrath, Advocate, for the petitioner. J.S. Khehar, J. (Oral) Through the instant writ petition, the petitioner claims pension, gratuity, commutation of pension and other retiral benefits in terms of the order passed by this Court in Dr. Ishar Singh versus State of Punjab, 1994 (1), Service Cases Today, 563. Learned counsel for the petitioner states, that on the basis of the decision rendered by the Full Bench of this Court in Dr. Ishar Singh's case (supra), the petitioner had addressed a legal notice to the respondents dated 27.11.2006 (Annexure P-5). It is, however, submitted that no decision has been taken thereon till date. Learned counsel for the petitioner states, that the petitioner will be satisfied, if the instant writ petition is disposed of, with a direction to respondent No.3 i.e. the General Manager, Punjab Roadways, Batala (Gurdaspur), requiring him to take a final decision thereon. In view of the innocuous prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, without going into the merits of the claim raised by the CWP No. 1373 of 2007 2 petitioner, we consider it just and appropriate to dispose of the instant writ petition by directing respondent No.3 i.e. the General Manager, Punjab Roadways, Batala (Gurdaspur), to take a final decision on the legal notice dated 27.11.2006 (Annexure P-5) by passing a well reasoned speaking order, within two months from the date of receipt of the certified copy of the order. It would be appreciated if respondent No.3 while passing the aforesaid order takes into consideration the decision rendered in Dr. Ishar Singh's case (supra) and any other relevant judgment on that point. Disposed of accordingly. Order dasti on payment of usual charges. ( J.S. Khehar ) Judge January 29, 2007 ( S.D. Anand ) vkd Judge
