JUSTICE T.S.THAKUR,CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present : Mr. H.C.Arora, Advocate-petitioner in person Mr. Rupinder Khosla, Addl. A.G. Punjab for the respondents ***** T.S.Thakur, C.J. (Oral) Mr. Khosla, Addl. Advocate General, Punjab has today filed a copy of order dated 08.06.2009 by which the Government of India have revised the honorarium payable to the members of the District Consumer Forum from Rs. 6000/- to Rs. 12000/- per month. The honorarium payable to the members of the State Consumer Commission has been similarly enhanced from Rs. 7500/- to Rs. 20000/- per month. The petitioner who appears in person, however, submits that the State Government have not because of some inadvertence considered the recommendations made by the President of the said Commission regarding revision of honorarium payable to part time members who are being paid honorarium on per sitting basis. CWP No.6841 of 2008 [2] Mr. Khosla, Addl. Advocate General, Punjab submits that while there is an essential difference between the members of the Forum appointed on whole time basis and those who are engaged on part time basis and are being paid on per sitting basis, the Government will have no difficulty in examining whether the sitting fee prescribed for the part time members also needs to be revised suitably. In the circumstances, therefore, and keeping in view the order that the Government have already made, we dispose of this writ petition with the observation that the Government may examine the feasibility of revising the sitting fee admissible to part time members of the District Consumer Fora also. . No costs. A copy of the order shall be given dasti to Mr. Khosla, for compliance under the signature of the Bench Secretary.
