IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 9521 of 2009. [O&M] Date of Decision: 20th January, 2011. Bechan Parshad Petitioner through Mr. H.K.Brinda, Advocate Versus P.S.E.B. & others Respondents through Mr. Sukhbir Singh, Advocate. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 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 aggrieved by the orders dated 10.07.2088, 27.11.2008 and 04.02.2009 [Annexures P-5, P-6 and P- 7 respectively] whereby the benefit of advance promotional increments granted to him on completion of 23 years' service has been withdrawn and consequential recovery of the alleged excess amount paid to him, has been ordered. It being not the case of the respondents that the petitioner played any fraud or misrepresented the facts or deceived the authorities concerned to receive the monetary gains, learned counsel for the parties are ad-idem that no recovery can be effected from the petitioner as ruled by this Court in Budh Ram v State of Haryana & Ors. 2009[3] PLR, 511. So far as the grant of advance promotional increment on completion of 23 years' service is concerned, in my considered view, his claim requires re-consideration by the Authorities. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to respondent No. 2 to re-consider the petitioner's claim regarding grant of advance promotional increment[s] on completion of 23 years' service and pass appropriate orders, after taking into consideration the reply dated 19.06.2008 [Annexure P-4] submitted by the petitioner and after granting him an opportunity of personal hearing, preferably within a period of four months from the date a certified copy of this order is received. Disposed of. Dasti. January 20, 2011. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
