[ORAL] The petitioner is aggrieved at the impugned order dated 28.04.2008 [Annexure P-14] whereby the benefit of three increments granted to her w.e.f. the date of acquiring the qualification of Giani/ Prabhakar has been ordered to be withdrawn. The petitioner also seeks a Mandamus to direct the respondents to release the pension and other retiral benefits to her on the basis of the pay actually drawn by her till retirement. So far as the recovery is concerned, learned counsel for the parties are ad-idem that the controversy is squarely answered in favour of the petitioner by a Full Bench decision of this Court in Budh Ram v State of Haryana & Ors. 2009[3] PLR, 511. Consequently, the recovery order is hereby quashed. The recovery, if any, effected from the petitioner, shall be refunded within a period of four months from the date a certified copy of this order is received. Adverting to the claim of the petitioner that she is to be granted the pensionary benefits on the basis of the pay actually drawn by her till the retirement, this Court vide order dated 02.03.2010 passed in CWP No. 16323 of 2008 [Smt. Sudarshana Devi & Anr. V State of Punjab & Ors.] has constituted an Officers' Committee to look into such like claims which essentially require verification of the individual facts on case to case basis. The writ petition qua the afore-stated relief, is accordingly disposed of by relegating the petitioner before the Officers' Committee, who in turn, is directed to consider the afore-stated claim in accordance with the Rules/Government instructions/policy and keeping in view the facts as pleaded by the petitioner and take appropriate decision after hearing the petitioner in person. The needful shall be done within a period of four months from the date a certified copy of this order is received. Till the Committee takes any decision, the petitioner shall continue to draw her retiral benefits as per the reduced/re-fixed pay. Disposed of. Dasti. May 12, 2010. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
