No costs.” COCP No.1984 of 2008 2 It is the case of the petitioner that in spite of the aforesaid directions, the respondents failed to grant the necessary relief to the petitioner. In response to the show cause notice, reply by way of short affidavit dated 19.3.2009 of Shri D.S. Dhesi, Financial Commissioner and Principal Secretary to Government, Haryana, Town and Country Planning Department, Chandigarh was filed wherein it has been stated that necessary benefits of promotion in terms of the aforesaid order has already been given to the petitioner and the arrears of pay will be paid to her within two months. Mr. S.K. Hooda, Sr. DAG, Haryana on instructions from Smt. Santosh Monga, Superintendent in the office of Director, Town and Country Planning, Haryana, Chandigarh states that even the arrears have been paid. However, learned counsel for the petitioner states that according to the petitioner, some amount is still to be paid. Be that as it may, in view of the fact that the petitioner has retired and since the major amount of the pending arrears has been released. I am not inclined to proceed further with this contempt petition. However, if any of the grouse of the petitioner with regard to the payment of arrears remains, she will make a representation to the respondent within two weeks from today and on filing of such a representation, the same shall be decided by the respondent within one month thereafter. It is needless to say that in case any monetary benefit is available to the petitioner on disposal of such representation, the same shall be released within one month thereafter and in case the aforesaid representation is rejected, the order shall be communicated to the petitioner within one month and the petitioner shall be at liberty to seek an appropriate remedy against the aforesaid order passed on her representation.
