Respondents Coram : Hon'ble Mr. Justice J.S. Khehar, Hon'ble Mr. Justice S.D. Anand. Present : Mr. S.S. Behl, Advocate, for the petitioner. J.S. Khehar, J. (Oral) The petitioner retired on attaining the age of superannuation on 31.12.2005. According to the pleadings in the instant case, he has been sanctioned provisional pension upto 75 per cent and besides the aforesaid monetary benefits, he has not been granted any other retiral benefits including gratuity, commutation of pension, earned leave, etc. Dis-satisfied with the action of the respondents, the petitioner had issued a legal notice dated 20.09.2006. It is, however, pointed out that no decision had been taken thereon till date. Learned counsel for the petitioner states, that the petitioner would be satisfied, if the instant writ petition is disposed of, with a direction to respondent No. 2 i.e. the Director of Public Instructions (Secondary Education), Punjab, requiring him to take a final decision on the legal notice dated 20.09.2006 (Annexure P/3). Without going into the merits of the claim raised by the CWP No. 17381 of 2006 2 petitioner, we consider it just and appropriate to dispose of the instant writ petition by directing respondent No.2 i.e. the Director of Public Instructions (Secondary Education), Punjab, to take a final decision on the legal notice dated 20.09.2006 (Annexure P/3) by passing a well reasoned speaking order, within two months from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order. In case, the petitioner is found entitled to any monetary benefits, the same shall be calculated and released to him, within a further period of one month. Disposed of accordingly. Order dasti on payment of usual charges. (J.S. Khehar) Judge November 03, 2006 (S.D. Anand) vkd Judge
