Kulwant Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Karamjit Verma, 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, who retired as a Constable from the Punjab Police w.e.f. 31.10.2010 on attaining the age of superannuation, seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to release his retiral dues. It is averred that though there is no disciplinary proceedings pending against him, yet his pensionary benefits have not been released so far despite a legal notice served upon the respondents on 16.3.2011 (Annexure P-5). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioner's claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the CWP No.10181 of 2011 [2] respondents to consider and dispose of the aforementioned claim of the petitioner as contained in the legal notice dated 16.3.2011 (Annexure P-5), by passing a speaking order, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order, failing which the petitioner shall be entitled to claim interest @ 7% per annum. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. June 01, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
