IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.23528 of 2010 Date of Decision : January 12, 2011. Ranjit Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.P.S.Khurana, 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 is aggrieved by the order dated 27.6.2005 (Annexure P-10) whereby his request for voluntary retirement has been turned down by the Sugar-Fed, Punjab, on the plea that the Voluntary Retirement Scheme (for short `the VRS') never came to be implemented in the Sugar-Fed and as soon as the Scheme would come into operation after receipt of the funds, the request made by various employees under the VRS shall be considered. The petitioner has now averred that the VRS has been finally approved and various employees working in the Head Office of the respondent-Federation have already been extended its benefit. The petitioner on this premise seeks a direction to relieve him from the post of C.W.P.No .23528 of 2010 2 CAO (Officiating) and pay all the dues under the VRS-2002. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the above stated plea taken by him, however, without expressing any views on the petitioner's entitlement to seek voluntary retirement under VRS-2002, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to verify the plea taken by the petitioner regarding approval of the VRS and/or its implementation qua the employees in the Head Office and take further action in accordance with the Scheme, if any, on the request made by the petitioner. Let the needful be done within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. January 12, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
