Darshan Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.S.K.Chawla, 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 retired as a Sub-Inspector from the Punjab Police. He seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to fix his basic pay at par with his juniors and grant him the consequential benefits. In this regard, the petitioner has served the respondents with a legal notice dated 1.12.2009 (Annexure P-1) but there is no response thereto. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioner's claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to the respondents to take cognizance of the aforesaid legal notice of the petitioner and dispose of the petitioner's claim by passing a speaking order, C.W.P.No .8452 of 2010 2 preferably within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. May 10, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
