Mr.B.S.Chahal, DAG, Punjab. -.- 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) The petitioner is a retired JBT Teacher. She seeks quashing of the order dated 7.1.2009 (Annexure P-4) whereby her pay has been refixed and consequential recovery has been ordered. The petitioner asserts that her pay was earlier correctly fixed to remove the anomaly, by bringing at par with her junior. The question as to whether or not there existed anomaly to step up the pay of the petitioner, has now been relegated to an Officers' Committee of the Education Department constituted vide order dated 22.3.2010 passed by this Court in CWP No.16323 of 2008 (Sudarshana Devi and another versus State of Punjab and others). C.W.P.No .621 of 2009 2 So far as the recovery sought to be effected from the petitioner is concerned, the respondents have nowhere averred that the petitioner mis-represented the authorities or played any fraud etc. to secure any monetary benefit. No recovery, thus, can be effected from her as ruled by a Full Bench of this Court in Budh Ram and others versus State of Haryana and others, 2009 (3) S.C.T.333. The writ petition is accordingly allowed in part and the recovery order is hereby quashed. The claim of the petitioner for refixation of her pay is directed to be put up before the Officers' Committee which shall examine and decide the same within a period of six months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order.
