Ms.Dalbir Kaur .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : None for the petitioner. 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 seeks quashing of the order dated 22.4.1994 (Annexure P-6) whereby she has been ordered to be reverted from the post of Lecturer-in-Punjabi after a period of more than 22 years. The facts would reveal that the petitioner was appointed on the post of Director Physical Education on 19.8.1971 on the basis of the academic qualification of M.A. B.Ed. possessed by her. She was promoted to the post of Lecturer-in-Punjabi vide order dated 1.12.1972 (Annexure P- 2). She continued to work as such till the impugned reversion order dated 22.4.1994 (Annexure P-6) was passed. C.W.P.No .5248 of 1994 2 This Court vide order dated 26.4.1994, stayed the operation of the impugned reversion order and the said ad-interim order has remained operative during the pendency of this writ petition. From the order dated 27.11.2002, it is revealed that the petitioner has meanwhile retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation. In these circumstances, I am of the considered view that the petitioner is entitled to receive her retiral benefits in the pay scale of Lecturer-in-Punjabi only. Consequently, the writ petition is allowed and the impugned reversion order dated 22.4.1994 (Annexure P-6) is hereby quashed. It is further directed that the petitioner's retiral benefits, if not released so far, be released forthwith in the pay scale of Lecturer-in- Punjabi which she was drawing at the time of her retirement and/or entitled to. The needful shall be done within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Dasti. May 03, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
