IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 8199 of 1991 Joginder Singh ...Petitioner Versus The State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Ms. Maninder, Advocate for Mr. R.K. Chopra, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Vivek Chauhan, Addl. AG, Punjab for the State. **** RANJIT SINGH J. The petitioner seeks mandamus directing the respondents to grant higher pay scale in accordance with the qualification possessed by the petitioner and to count the period of war service for the purpose of fixation of pay. Counsel for the petitioner has conceded that higher pay scale has been allowed to the petitioner. The claim left to be adjudicated relates to counting of period of war service for the purpose of pay fixation. The petitioner has retired in the year 1977 and had asked for fixation of his pay nearly 13 years after his retirement. No question would arise for re-fixation of his pay at this belated stage. The writ petition, therefore, is dismissed. August 19, 2011 (RANJIT SINGH) rts JUDGE
