Mr.B.S.Chahal, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. In view of the nature of the order which I propose to pass, there is no necessity to seek counter-reply from the respondents at this stage. The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 31.3.2009 (Annexure P-5) passed by respondent No.3 whereby his retiral benefits including death-cum-retirement gratuity have been with-held on account of C.W.P.No .428 of 2010 (O&M) 2 refixation of his pay, done after the petitioner's retirement on attaining the age of superannuation on 31.5.2008. During the course of hearing, learned counsel for the parties contend that the controversy involved in this case stands settled by the decision of this Court dated 27.5.2009 rendered in a bunch of writ petitions including CWP No.5568 of 2008 (Charan Dass and others versus State of Punjab and others), a copy of which is appended with this writ petition as Annexure P-7. The writ petition is accordingly allowed in terms of the afore- stated decision of this Court in CWP No.5568 of 2008 (Charan Dass and others versus State of Punjab and others).
