No. 13374 of 2011 DATE OF DECISION: 28.07.2011 Satnam Singh and others ..........Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and others ..........Respondents BEFORE:- HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE DAYA CHAUDHARY Present:- Mr. Hardeep Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. **** DAYA CHAUDHARY, J. The present petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India has been filed for quashing of order dated 28.2.2011 passed by respondent No.3 vide which the deductions from the salary of the petitioners are being made because of less mileage. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that the impugned order, vide which, the deductions from the salary of the petitioners are being made for less mileage, has been passed on the basis of directions contained in Annexure P-1, whereas, the buses which are being driven by the petitioners are of poor condition and are of more than ten years old. Learned counsel further submits that a legal notice has also been sent by the petitioners through counsel but no reply of the same has been sent so far and the deductions from the salary of the petitioners are being made on the basis of instructions (Annexure P-1). Heard the arguments advanced by counsel for the petitioner C.W.P. No. 13374 of 2011 (2) and have also gone through the documents available on record. Keeping in view the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner and after perusing the instructions (Annexure P-1) as well as order of recovery, nothing can be said on the merits of the case as no details of the buses have been mentioned in the petition. Simply it has been mentioned that buses are old and due to the bad condition of the buses mileage is on the lower side. Admittedly, the petitioners have submitted a legal notice but no order has been passed. Accordingly, without commenting anything on the merits of the case at this stage, the present petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to decide the legal notice sent by the petitioners by passing a speaking order within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of copy of the order. Disposed of accordingly. July 28, 2011 (DAYA CHAUDHARY) pooja JUDGE
