(Oral) The petitioners served as Sanitary Inspector and Inspector, respectively in the Municipal Councils, Dinanagar and Gurdaspur till they retired on 31.12.2007 and 31.3.2007 on attaining the age of superannuation. Their grievance is that the arrears of pay and other retiral dues after revision of their pay scales w.e.f. 1.1.2006 have not been paid to them so far despite their repeated visits to the office of the Municipal authorities. According to the petitioners, the aforesaid arrears have not been paid to them on the plea that sufficient funds are not available. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought by them, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent Nos.2 to 4 to C.W.P.No .2390 of 2011 2 consider the above mentioned claim of the petitioners and pay them the due amounts within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order, failing which the petitioners shall be entitled to claim interest @ 6% per annum. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. February 08, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
