IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.4564 of 2010 Date of Decision : March 16, 2010. Paramjit Kaur Bedi .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.S.K.Arora, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 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 petitioner is widow of late Sh.Tej Pal Singh Bedi who was serving as Naib Tehsildar when he unfortunately passed away on 3.10.2007. The petitioner's grievance is that the respondents have not released so far the entire amount of Death-cum-Retirement Gratuity as well as the G.I.S. She further claims interest on the delayed payments of pension, leave encashment and medical re-imbursement etc. In this regard, the petitioner is said to have served the respondents with a legal notice dated 17.8.2009 (Annexure P-3) but in vain. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate C.W.P.No .4564 of 2010 2 to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent Nos.2 to 5 to look into the pending claims of the petitioner and release the due payments as early as possible but not later than two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. The respondents shall also consider the claim of the petitioner for interest on the delayed payments at the rate prescribed under the Government Instructions. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
