IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civl Writ Petition No.8343 of 2011 Date of Decision : May 11, 2011. Hakam Singh and others .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Nirmal Singh, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr.Rajesh Bhardwaj, Additional Advocate General, Punjab. -.- 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) Notice of motion. Mr.Rajesh Bhardwaj, learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to seek any counter-reply from the respondents at this stage. The petitioners seek the benefit of revision of pay scales w.e.f. 1.11.1971 in stead of 16.7.1975 in terms of the order dated 24.3.2009 passed by this Court in Civil Writ Petition No.2208 of 1989 (Lekh Raj Khera and others versus State of Punjab and another) (Annexure P-5) filed by the similarly placed employees. Reliance is also placed on the CWP No.8343 of 2011 [2] order dated 7.2.2011 passed by this Court in Civil Writ Petition No.22892 of 2010 (Jagdish Rai and others versus State of Punjab and others) and other connected cases (Annexure P-6). The grievance of the petitioners is that though they have represented the respondents with a representation dated 5.7.2009 (Annexure P-7) seeking the aforesaid relief but no action has been taken thereupon so far. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioners' claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to the respondents to consider and dispose of the the petitioners' claim as contained in their above mentioned representation, in terms of Lekh Raj Khera and Sewa Singh's cases (supra), by passing a speaking order within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. May 11, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
