IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH COCP No. 1417 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: 24.8.2010 Sham Sunder .....Petitioner Versus Shri Mahes Kumar ......Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present: Shri Vivek Singla, Advocate, for the petitioner. Shri Aman Chaudhary, Addl. AG, Haryana. HEMANT GUPTA, J (Oral). The grievance of the petitioner is that the pension @ Rs.4000/- has not been granted to the petitioner and, therefore, the orders passed by the Civil Court and by this Court in a writ petition on 4.7.2002, are not being given effect to. It is pointed out that instead of pension of Rs.4000/- on the basis of the last pay drawn, pension of Rs.3223/- has been sanctioned, which is against the pension Rules of the State. The question whether the petitioner is entitled to pension @ Rs.4000/- or Rs.3223/- as sanctioned by the State, cannot be made subject matter of the contempt proceedings. The respondents have passed a speaking order dated 18.12.2003 rejecting the representation of the petitioner. It is open to take recourse to his remedy in respect of fixation of pension, in appropriate proceedings, in accordance with law. Hence, the present contempt petition is dismissed with liberty aforesaid. [ HEMANT GUPTA ] 24.8.2010 JUDGE ds
