On the asking of the Court, Mr. HS Brar, Advocate accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass there is no necessity to call upon the respondents to file their counter-reply(ies)/affidavit(s) at this stage. (2). The petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to decide its claim contained in the representation dated 20.11.2010 (Annexure P9) and release the due payments of the incentive which has already been verified and confirmed vide letter dated 12.08.2010 (Annexure P8). CWP No.1111 of 2011.doc - 2 – (3). It is averred that notwithstanding the fact that after verification and audit, the claim of the petitioner for payment of incentive has been confirmed by the authorities, the respondents are still sitting tight over the matter and the payments are not being released even though they have represented time and again including vide representation dated 20.11.2010 (Annexure P9). (4). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the contents of the various letters placed on record which do indicate that the petitioner’s claim for incentive was duly approved and confirmed, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to take a final decision in the matter and whatever is found due, release the same in favour of the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. (5). Ordered accordingly. Dasti. 20.01.2011 vishal shonkar (S u r y a K a n t) Judge
