C.W.P. No.19542 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No.19542 of 2009 Date of Decision:- 08.05.2012 Om Parkash ...Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH Present : Mr. Naveen Daryal, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Sunil Nehra, Sr. DAG, Haryana for the respondents. AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J.(Oral) Petitioners have approached this Court claiming the release of overtime arrear for the revised grade with effect from 01.01.1996 to 31.12.2007 along with interest. It is the contention of the petitioners that their claim is covered by the judgment passed by this Court in General Manager, Haryana Roadways, Chandigarh Vs. Azad Singh and others, 2009 (3) SCT 101, which judgment has been upheld by the Division Bench of this Court in L.P.A. No.858 of 2009 titled as 'General Manager, Haryana Roadways, Chandigarh Vs. Azad Singh and others' decided on 23.03.2011. Counsel for the petitioners contends that the petitioners have submitted a representation dated 20.07.2009 (Annexure P-1) but the same has not been considered and decided by the respondents. Perusal of the representation and the contents of the writ do not indicate the date on which the petitioners were appointed which would entitle them to the claim as has been made by them through this C.W.P. No.19542 of 2009 -2- writ petition. Respondents in their reply have also stated that they have not received the representation of the petitioners dated 20.07.2009. Since the claim of the petitioners was not clear, therefore, the respondents contend that their claim has not been decided by them. At this stage, counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners be granted liberty to file a detailed representation putting forth their claim which may be considered and decided at an early date. Counsel for the respondents has no objection to the prayer made by the counsel for the petitioners. In view of the above, the present writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to file a detailed representation to the General Manager, Haryana Roadways, Panipat and Jind. If such a representation is filed by the petitioners within a period of two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and decided by the concerned General Manager within a further period of two months. It goes without saying that the claim of the petitioners is based upon the judgment of this Court, the same shall be taken into consideration by the respondents while deciding the representation of the petitioners. Decision so taken be conveyed to the petitioners forthwith. In case the claim of the petitioners is accepted, consequential benefits, if any, be released to the petitioners, in accordance with law, within a further period of two months.
