IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.4560 of 2011 Date of Decision : March 15, 2011. Satish Kumar Gupta .....Petitioner versus Punjab State Power Corporation Limited and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Virinder Kumar Shukla, 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 joined the respondent-Corporation as Upper Division Clerk and has retired from the post of Revenue Superintendent w.e.f. 31.10.2009 on attaining the age of superannuation. The petitioner's grievance is that he ought to have been granted the benefit of time bound promotional scales on completion of 9/16 years of service in terms of the Policy Circular dated 23rd April, 1990 (Annexure P1) but the same has been denied for wholly discriminatory reasons. The above stated claim is said to have been raised by the petitioner vide a legal notice dated 8.11.2010 (Annexure P-10) also, to which any response is still awaited. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought by him, however, without C.W.P.No .4560 of 2011 2 expressing any views on the merits of his claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider the above mentioned claim of the petitioner which is also contained in the legal notice dated 8.11.2010 and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Suffice it to mention that if the petitioner is found entitled to any benefit, the same shall be released to him within a period of one month thereafter. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
