Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest? M.M. Kumar, J The instant appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against the judgment dated 2.3.2010 passed by the learned Single Judge while disposing of bunch of petitions. The view taken by the learned Single Judge cannot be regarded in violation of any rule or principle of law. In fact keeping in view the larger interest of a class of persons, learned Single Judge has issued directions for examination of all individual cases by an Officers' Committee headed by the Director of Public Instructions- respondent No.2 as its Chairman with two nominees from the Finance and Personnel Departments. A wholesome directions have been issued by the directing the Officer's Committee to issue a public notice inviting objections/ representations from all the aggrieved employees where their multifarious grievances could be considered and the said Committee is to resolve the same by passing a speaking order. A period of six months has been fixed. The Committee has also been directed that wherever the Committee finds that a retiree is entitled to the grant of selection grade, proficiency step up, ACP etc. and/ or other service benefits withdrawn under the order challenged in the writ petition, the same are to be restored from the due date and consequential benefits along revised retiral dues are to be granted to such retiree within a period of four months thereafter. L.P.A. No. 958 of 2010 (O&M) -2- *** Having heard the learned counsel, we failed to see any reason to entertain the instant appeal as a comprehensive direction issued by the learned Single Judge is liable to bring the necessary relief not only to the appellant but also to others who might be aggrieved by the similar order passed against them after their retirement. We find no merit in the appeal and the same is dismissed. (M.M. Kumar) Judge August 11, 2010 (A.N. Jindal) deepak Judge
