IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Writ Petition No.6026 of 2010 DATE OF DECISION : SEPTEMBER 6, 2010 GURBACHAN KAUR ....... PETITIONER(S) VERSUS STATE OF PUNJAB & ANR. .... RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: Ms. RK Thind, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Mr. BS Chahal, DAG, Punjab. AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) 1. This petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India has been filed praying for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari quashing circular dated 29.7.2003 (Annexure P-3) whereby the table for calculation of commutation of pension has been replaced to the disadvantage of the petitioner and other similarly situated persons, who retired on or after 31.7.2003. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that the issue was raised before this Court. A Division Bench of this court while dealing with the same in CWP 15554 of 2007 (Gian Chand and others v. State of Punjab) decided on 21.7.2008, has quashed Circular dated 29.7.2003, Civil Writ Petition No.6026 of 2010 2 which is under challenge in this petition also. 3. Learned counsel for the respondent-State contends that, indeed, the issue is covered by the judgment rendered by this Court in Gian Chand's case (supra). Circular dated 29.7.2003 has been quashed by this Court. 4. Learned counsel for the respondent-State, however, states that the State of Punjab has gone up in appeal before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India against the judgment rendered in Gian Chand's case (supra), by way of filing of a Special Leave Petition, which is pending. 5. In view of the conceded position that this petition is covered by the judgment rendered by this court in CWP 15554 of 2007 (Gian Chand and others v. State of Punjab) decided on 21.7.2008, this petition is allowed in the same terms. 6. It is, however, made clear that this order shall remain subject to the outcome of Special Leave Petition No.25856 of 2008 pending in the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India and the petitioner shall be entitled to seek implementation of the judgment through contempt or otherwise only after disposal of the Special Leave Petition. September 6, 2010 ( AJAI LAMBA ) Kang JUDGE 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
