IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.12687 of 2010 Date of Decision : July 21, 2010. Ghumanda Singh .....Petitioner versus Punjab State Electricity Board and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Inderjit Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. 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 is working as a Desk Controller in the erstwhile Punjab State Electricity Board (now Power Com.). He seeks a mandamus to direct the official respondents to grant him the same pay at par with respondent No.5-Krishan Kumar who is also working as a Desk Controller. The relief is founded upon the principle of `equal pay for equal work'. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have represented the authorities on 8.3.2010 (Annexure P-2) but without any response. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioner's claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent C.W.P.No .12687 of 2010 2 Nos.1 & 3 to take cognizance of the above mentioned alleged pay anomaly pointed out by the petitioner and redress his grievance 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. July 21, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
