CWP No. 24017 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 24017 of 2011 Date of decision:- 22.12.2011 Suba Singh ...... Petitioner Vs State of Punjab and others. ......Respondents CORAM:-HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI, CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present: Mr. B.S. Bhalla, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * * RANJAN GOGOI, C.J. (ORAL) This writ petition filed as a PIL seeks the Court's interference in the matter of grant of old age pension to young people. According to the petitioner, the entire process of payment of such pension is malafide and young people have been intentionally identified for grant of such pension, though they are not so entitled. A list of unauthorized beneficiaries have also been enclosed to the writ petition. From the averments made in the writ petition, we have noticed that a complaint, in this regard, has been filed before the District Development and Panchayat Officer, Moga on 25.04.2011 (Annexure P5) seeking a detailed inquiry and remedial action in the matter of grant of pension. No action has been taken on CWP No. 24017 of 2011 2 the said representation/complaint dated 25.04.2011. Having regard to the issues involved in the writ petition as highlighted above, we are of the view that, at this stage, it would be appropriate for the Block Development and Panchayat Officer to inquire into the matter and pass a reasoned order on the complaint/representation dated 25.04.2011 (Annexure P5) filed by the petitioner. This will be done within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of this order. The petitioner, undoubtedly, will be at liberty to approach this Court in the event he has any subsisting grievance in respect of such order as may be passed by the concerned authority. This will dispose of the PIL. (RANJAN GOGOI) CHIEF JUSTICE (SURYA KANT) JUDGE 22.12.2011 Amodh
