(Oral) The petitioners, who were employes of the Municipal Corporation, Ludhiana, seek a mandamus to direct the respondents to accept their option for pension scheme and grant them the consequential pension and other retiral dues on their retirement. Reliance is placed upon a decision dated 19.4.2010 rendered by this Court in Civil Writ Petition No.18381 of 2003 (Davinder Singh and others versus State of Punjab and another), which was also filed by the employees of the Municipal Corporation, Ludhiana.

C.W.P.No .17410 of 2010 2 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with the direction to the respondents to consider and dispose of the claim of the petitioners, as contained in the legal notice dated 24.8.2010 by passing a speaking order keeping in view the aforesaid decision of this Court in Davinder Singh and others' case (supra), within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order.
