CWP No.3987 of 1993 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Writ Petition No.3987 of 1993 (O&M) Date of decision: 3.11.2011 Amar Chand & others ...Petitioners Versus The State of Punjab & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: None for the petitioners. Mr. B.S. Chahal, Dy. Advocate General, Punjab. Mr. P.K. Gill, Advocate for respondents No.2 to 4. Rajan Gupta, J (oral). The petitioners have sought a writ in the nature of mandamus seeking special pay of Rs.100/- per month w.e.f. 1st November, 1985, which according to them was sanctioned vide letter dated 11th November, 1985, Annexure P-1. According to averments made in the petition, the petitioners are working in various Market Committees in the State of Punjab and are, thus, entitled to special pay of Rs.100/- per month in view of instructions, Annexure P-1. Learned counsel appearing for respondents No.2 to 4 has, however, vehemently opposed the prayer. He submits that instructions Annexure P-1 were issued only with regard to drivers working in the head office of the Punjab Mandi Board. According to him, instructions, Annexure P-1 do not pertain to drivers, who are working in the Market Committees. CWP No.3987 of 1993 2 Heard. The petitioners remain unrepresented before this court today. The stand of respondents No.2 to 4 is that in terms of Annexure P-1, drivers working in the Market Committee are not entitled to special pay. In the absence of any challenge to the stand, this court accepts the same and finds that the petition is without any merit. The same is hereby dismissed. The petitioners shall, however, be entitled to file an application for revival of the petition in case they have anything further to say in the matter. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 3.11.2011 'rajpal'
