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? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitiones are working as Sewing/Art and Craft Teachers in the Education Department, Government of Punjab. They seek a mandamus to direct the respondents to grant them the pay scales as admissible to Classical and Vernacular Teachers. The claim of the petitioners is based upon a decision dated 3.9.2009 (Annexure P-4) rendered by this Court in C.W.P.No.6402 of 1990 (Gurpal Singh and Others versus State of Punjab and another). The aforesaid decision, in turn, is based upon yet another decision of this Court dated 7.5.1990 (Annexure P-3) in C.W.P.No.16380 of 1989 (Balbir Singh and others versus State of Punjab and others), C.W.P.No .3741 of 2010 2 The petitioners are said to have served the respondents with a legal notice dated 5.9.2009 (Annexure P-5) claiming the benefits flowing from the above-mentioned judgments, but no response has been received so far. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners at some length and keeping in view the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent No.2 to take cognizance of the legal notice dated 5.9.2009 (Annexure P-5) served on behalf of the petitioners and consider the claim of the petitioners for grant of higher pay scales in the light of the two decisions of this Court, referred to above. In case the petitioners are found entitled to, the consequential benefits shall be granted to them within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order and/or their claim be decided by passing a speaking order within the said period. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. March 04, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
