R.A. No.274 of 2011 (O&M) in CWP No. 3121 of 2011 Present: Mr. Vikas Chatrath, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. V.K. Shukla, Advocate for the non-applicant. *** This application for review/modification has been preferred by the State Bank of Patiala, Branch Samrala, Distt. Ludhiana seeking modification/clarification of the order dated 21.2.2011 passed in CWP No. 3121 of 2011. Vide the aforesaid order the writ petition filed by the non- applicant/writ petitioner was disposed of in terms of the Division Bench judgement of this Court rendered in case of Mukhtiar Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab & others (CWP No. 891 of 2003 alongwith other connected matters) decided on 20.1.2004. While upholding the order of the Govt. for withdrawal of the benefit of Dearness Allowance the Hon'ble Division Bench directed not to recover the amount already received by the writ petitioner in absence of any fraud or misrepresentation on her part. While disposing of the writ petition a further direction was issued to refund the amount, if, any recovered from the petitioner within a period of three months. The bank, which is one of the respondents in the case has sought modification of the order to the extent that the bank should have the liberty to settle the account with the Govt. in case the bank is made to refund the amount to the writ petitioner. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, I am of the considered view that the plea of the bank seems to be genuine. The bank is only an agency established by the St ate Govt. for disbursement of the R.A. No.274 of 2011 (O&M) in CWP No. 3121 of 2011 -2- pensionary benefits including Dearness Allowance and in the event the bank is made to refund the amount to the writ petitioner pursuant to the aforesaid judgement, the bank shall have the liberty to settle the accounts with the Govt. in accordance with law. Application is disposed of. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 2.11.2011. lucky
