IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.13678 of 2008 Date of Decision : December 01, 2010. P.K.Aggarwal .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Jai Vir Yadav, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.H.S.Brar, Additional AG, Punjab, for respondent No.1. Mr.R.N.Raina, Advocate, for respondent Nos.3 & 4. -.- 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) Having served respondent Nos.3 & 4 as Lecturer-in- Mathematics, the petitioner retired w.e.f. 30.11.2004 on attaining the age of superannuation. As some of his retiral benefits are yet to be paid, that the petitioner has approached this Court. It is stated by his learned counsel that except the arrears of Provident Fund as per the calculations given in para-4 of the writ petition as also the arrears of additionality, the details of which are given in para-7 of the writ petition, the other retiral dues have since been paid to the petitioner. It may be mentioned here that the respondent-College receives C.W.P.No .13678 of 2008 2 grant-in-aid from the State of Punjab and the petitioner also served against the post duly sanctioned under the grant-in-aid scheme. Though several opportunities have been granted to the Management of the College and the State of Punjab but they have not come forward with their reply-affidavits. In my considered view, no useful purpose shall be served by repeated adjournments and there is no necessity to seek any reply-affidavit from the respondents at this stage. The grievance of the petitioner can be effectively redressed by directing respondent Nos.3 & 4 to consider his claim for the release of arrears of the Provident Fund and the `additionality' as per the calculations furnished by the petitioner in para Nos.4 & 7 of the writ petition. It is further directed that whatever is found due, be released to the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Needless to say that the Management of the respondent college would firstly pay the due amount and thereafter may seek re-imbursement from the State Government. The petitioner shall also be entitled to the interest on the arrears of Provident Fund and additonality @ 6% pr annum from 1.2.2005 till the atual payment. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
