IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.4348 of 2011 Date of Decision : March 10, 2011. Joginder Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.B.S.Mittal, 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) Notice of motion to respondent Nos.1 to 4 only at this stage. Ms.Sudeepti Sharma, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab accepts notice on their behalf. Let four copies of the writ petition be handed over to her during the course of day. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, neither there is any necessity to issue notice to respondent No.5 nor any reply from respondent Nos.1 to 4 is needed at this stage. The petitioner retired from the post of Junior Assistant from the Municipal Council, Rampura Phool, District Bathinda w.e.f. 30.11.2010 on attaining the age of superannuation. His grievance is that C.W.P.No .4348 of 2011 2 though more than three months have passed but pension as well as other retiral dues, Gratuity, Leave Encashment etc. have not been released so far. The above stated claim has been raised by the petitioner by way of a representation dated 14.2.2011 (Annexure P-1) also, to which there is no response so far. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the fact that there appears to be no legal impediment against the grant of service/retiral benefits, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent Nos.2 to 5 to consider the above mentioned claim of the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order, failing which the petitioner shall be entitled to the interest @ 7% per annum. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. March 10, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
