Ms.Monica Chhibbar Sharma, DAG, Punjab. -.- 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) The petitioners are employed with the Punjab Recorders Limited, S.A.S.Nagar Mohali and seek a mandamus to direct the respondents to release their salaries and others dues like Medical Allowance, LTC etc. These service benefits are said to have been with- held by respondent No.4 who is a subsidiary of respondent No.3- Corporation. The petitioner in this regard relied upon a Division Bench decision of this Court dated 5.2.2004 passed in Civil Writ Petition No.11689 of 2003 (Prit Pal Singh and others versus State of Punjab and others) (Annexure P-11), It is pointed out and rightly so that the above stated writ petition was filed by the employees of respondent No.3-Corporation C.W.P.No .6959 of 2004 2 seeking similar relief. It is also not in dispute that the Division Bench decision has been upheld by the Hon'ble Supreme Court while dismissing the Special Leave Petition No.3206 of 2006 (State of Punjab and another versus Prit Pal Singh and others) vide order dated 9.3.2010 (Annexure A-1). In this view of the matter when the claim of the similarly situated employees has already been accepted by this Court, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioners as contained in this writ petition, in the light of the Division Bench judgment in Prit Pal Singh's case (supra) and release the consequential benefits to the petitioners within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. February 08, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
