IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.21599 of 2010 Balbir Singh Vs. The Managing Director, Food Corporation of India, New Delhi & others Present: Mr.Gurbir Singh Toor, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms.Uma Gupta, Advocate, for Mr.K.K.Gupta, Advocate, for the respondents. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. On 13.12.2010, the counsel for the respondents was required to have instructions whether the issues raised in the present writ petition are covered by the decisions in CWP No.14162 and CWP No.8235 of 2009. The counsel had prayed for time and the case was adjourned for today. Counsel appearing for the respondents says that the matter has now been referred to Regional Office, New Delhi. The counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to the order passed in CWP No.8235 of 2009, where the stand of the respondent- Corporation was noticed that due increment has been ordered to be released in favour of the petitioner and a request to re-fix the petitioner's pay and release the consequential arrears has been sent to the Zonal Office. The petitioner being similarly situated, the respondents are expected to take similar action in the present case also. Even if the case of due increment, if otherwise due to the petitioner, has not been taken, same may be considered and taken in the light of earlier precedent within a period of two months and the case of re-fixation of the petitioner's pay and also for release of consequential arrears be accordingly decided within this period. Civil Writ Petition No.21599 of 2010 : 2 : In view of the above, the writ petition would be rendered infructuous and is disposed of with a direction to the authority in- charge of the Zonal Office of the respondent-Corporation to consider and decide the entire issue within a period of two months.
