Mukesh Chander .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.G.C.Gupta, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 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 having served the respondent-Corporation on various posts including as Junior Assistant since the year 1974, has retired from service w.e.f. 30.4.2010 on attaining the age of superannuation. He seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to grant him the pay scale of Rs.10300-34800+3600 with all consequential benefits as well as the revised pension and leave encashment after re-fixation of his pay. The petitioner's grievance appears to be that though vide order dated 29.2.2008 (Annexure P-2), the pay scale of the Rs.5000-8100 was sanctioned w.e.f. 1.1.2006 but due to non-implementation thereof that he has been denied the further revised pay scale also. C.W.P.No .17724 of 2010 2 The above-stated claim has been put-forth by the petitioner vide a legal notice dated 9.8.2010 (Annexure P-3) also but no response has been received by him thereto so far. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioner's claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent Nos.2 & 3 to consider the above-mentioned claim of the petitioner, as contained in the legal notice dated 9.8.2010 (Annexure P-3) served on his behalf and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. It is further directed that if the petitioner is found entitled to any monetary benefit, the same shall be released within the stipulated period. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
