Having heard learned counsel for the parties, I find that no reply is required to be filed by the respondents at this stage for the reason that no recovery can be allowed to be effected from the petitioner in view of the decision of a Full Bench of this Court in Budh Ram and other s V. State of Haryana and others 2009(3) SCT 333.

Till such decision is taken by the Officer's Committee, the petitioner is entitled to be paid her retiral dues in the same terms as has been directed in somewhat similar cases including Civil Writ Petition No. 8701 of 2009 Dalbir Singh and others V. State of Punjab and others (Annexure P-12), operative part whereof reads as under:- “ It is made clear that while the petitioners, till the Officers Committee takes a fresh decision, shall continue to draw their retiral benefits as per the re-fixed pay/pay scales, however, if the Committee recommends in their favour, it is directed that the Competent Authority shall ordinarily accept such recommendations unless it disagrees for the reasons to be recorded in writing.
