(Oral) The petitioner is widow of late Kulwant Singh who was working as a Constable in the Punjab Police and unfortunately died in harness. The petitioner was granted `family pension' alongwith D.A. which appears to have been later on withdrawn by the respondents, resulting into the impugned order dated 5.9.2009 (Annexure P-3) whereby the recovery of D.A. element has been sought. Aggrieved, the petitioner has approached this Court. Learned Senior counsel for the Bank as well as the learned State counsel fairly state that the issue involved in this case is squarely C.W.P.No .15299 of 2009 2 covered by a Full Bench decision 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 impugned order dated 5.9.2009 (Annexure P-3) is quashed. It is directed that the recovery, if any, already effected, shall be refunded to the petitioner preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order.
