IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 19569 of 2007 Date of Decision: 24.12.2008 Dalip Singh ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice J.S. Khehar. Hon'ble Ms. Justice Nirmaljit Kaur Present:- Mr. D.D. Bansal, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Charu Tuli, Sr. D.A.G., Punjab for the respondents. J.S. KHEHAR, J. (ORAL) Through the instant writ petition, the petitioner claims retiral benefits, in terms of the decision rendered by this Court, in Rakha Singh vs. State of Punjab and others (CWP No.7780 of 2004, decided on 27-01-2005). Learned counsel for the respondents acknowledges that the instant controversy was taken by the State of Punjab to the Hon'ble Supreme Court by filing a petition for Special Leave to Appeal. However, the claim raised on behalf of the respondents before the Hon'ble Supreme Court has not been accepted in as much as the petition filed by the State of CWP No. 19569 of 2007 -2- Punjab against the determination rendered by this Court, has been dismissed. In view of the above, we are satisfied that the instant writ petition deserves to be allowed in the same terms as the decision rendered by this Court in Rakha Singh's case (supra). The writ petition is allowed in the aforesaid terms. (J.S. KHEHAR) JUDGE (NIRMALJIT KAUR) December 24, 2008 JUDGE gurpreet
