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 seeks the grant of pay-scale of Rs.1640-2925 at par with the Punjabi/Hindi/Urdu Teachers, in terms of the decision dated 7.5.2009 rendered by this Court in CWP No.16380 of 1989 (Balbir Singh and others versus State of Punjab and others) (Annexure P-3). The petitioner has already served the respondents with a legal notice dated 31.3.2010 (Annexure P-4) claiming the said pay scale and notional fixation of his pay, but no decision has been communicated to him so far. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and 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 respondent C.W.P.No .8920 of 2010 2 Nos.1 & 2 to take cognizance of the afore-mentioned legal notice served on behalf of the petitioner and dispose of his pending claim in the light of the aforesaid decision in Balbir Singh and others' case (supra), by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. May 14, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
