Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others. ..............Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH. Present:- Mr.Satish Chaudhary,Advocate for the petitioner. ***** JASBIR SINGH, J.(ORAL) By filing this writ petition, petitioner prays that a writ of mandamus be issued to the respondents to release the financial benefits like annual increments etc. to him, after his exoneration in the departmental enquiry/ criminal proceedings. It is a fact that the petitioner was acquitted in a criminal case which was registered against him, thereafter he was also exonerated during departmental enquiry. It is prayer of the petitioner that benefits which were not given to him on account of pendency of the above said proceedings, be now released in his favour. During arguments it was brought to our notice that by stating his grievance, petitioner has already sent a representation (Annexure P-6) dated 9.9.2005, which is still pending undecided. Tentatively claim of the petitioner appears to be justified. In view of this, without expressing any opinion on merits, we dispose of this writ petition by issuing direction to respondent no.2 to take note and decide the representation referred to above, filed by the petitioner as per law, by CWP No.800/2008 2 passing a speaking order. Needful be done within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. It is made clear that if there is no legal hitch, requisite financial benefits be released in favour of the petitioner immediately thereafter.
