State of Punjab and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH * * * Present : Mr. Puneet Jindal, Advocate, for the petitioners. * * * AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL) It is the contention of the counsel for the petitioners that the petitioners are entitled to the release of arrears of Contributory Provident Fund as per definition of +salary as given in the Central Govt. Gazette as well as the Punjab University Calender w.e.f. 1984-85 along with 9% interest and to grant interest @ 9% on delayed payment of arrears in respect of difference between the Additional Dearness Allowances as well as Contributory Provident Fund w.e.f. 01.01.1997 to 31.12.1998 payable to all the petitioners as a result of pay revision w.e.f. 01.01.1996. His contention is that the claim of the petitioners, which they had made in the C.W.P. No. 10380 of 2011 2 writ petition, is covered by a Division Bench judgment of this Court in LPA No. 792 of 2011 titled as Arya College Management Committee and another vs. T.D.Kohli and others decided on 06.05.2011, Annexure P-5 (Colly). His further contention is that the petitioners, claiming the benefit, have submitted various representations and the last one is dated 22.04.2011, which has been received by the respondents on 26.04.2011 (Annexure P-9). Counsel states that that the petitioners, at this stage, would be satisfied if a direction is issued to the Management Committee, Arya College-respondent No. 3 to consider and decide the same within some specified time. If that be so, without going into the merits of the case or commenting thereon, the present petition is disposed of with directions to the Management Committee, Arya College-respondent No. 3 to consider the representation dated 22.04.2011, which has been received by the respondents on 26.04.2011 (Annexure P-9) and take a decision thereon within a period of two months' from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. The decision, so taken, be conveyed to the petitioners forthwith. In case, the petitioners are held entitled to the claim, which has been made by them in their representation, the consequential relief be released to them within a further period of one month.
