Darshan Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Vijay K.Jindal, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 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) The petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to release his retiral benefits, i.e., pension, CPF, gratuity, leave encashment etc. The petitioner while serving as a Pharmacist with the respondent-department, retired on attaining the age of superannuation w.e.f. 30.11.2010. It is averred that his pensionary benefits like pension, CPF, gratuity, leave encashment etc. have not been paid so far. In this regard, the petitioner has already served the respondents with a legal notice dated 27.12.2010 (Annexure P-3) followed by a reminder dated 5.5.2011 (Annexure P-5) but without any response thereto. CWP No.9800 of 2011 [2] In these circumstances but without expressing any views on the petitioner's entitlement, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider and dispose of the petitioner's claim which is also contained in the legal notice dated 27.12.2010, by passing a speaking order within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Needless to say that whatever is due, to which the petitioner is entitled to, release within the stipulated period failing which the petitioner shall be entitled to claim interest @ 7% per annum. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. May 30, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
