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 re-fix his pay and grant him the consequential benefits. It is averred that while fixing his pay, his basic pay has been reduced from Rs.10640 to Rs.10300/-. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have represented the authorities on 26.8.2009 (Annexure P-2) but no decision appears to have been taken on that representation. In this view of the matter and without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioner's claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider and C.W.P.No .8412 of 2010 2 dispose of the afore-mentioned claim of the petitioner by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. May 20, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
