Teja Singh and others .....Petitioners versus The Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd & others.....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.J.S.Maanipur, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 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 petitioners, who are working as Firemen, Driver and L.F.M. in the Thermal Plant at Bathinda of the Punjab State Power Corporation (Generation), claim themselves to be technically qualified employees. They seek a mandamus to grant them 100% Generation Incentive (instead of 60%) as is being paid to similarly situated employees. The petitioners claim that by reducing the rate of their Incentive, the respondents have violated the principles of `equal pay for equal work'. In this regard, the petitioners are said to have served the respondents with a legal notice dated 6.4.2010 (Annexure P-8) but no decision appears to have been taken thereupon so far. C.W.P.No .12660 of 2010 2 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioners' claim, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.1 to take cognizance of the above mentioned legal notice dated 6.4.2010 served on behalf of the petitioners and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. July 21, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
