Present : Mr.Arun Abrol, 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 Union is formed by the employees of the Nagar Council, Gurdaspur. It seeks a mandamus to direct the Municipal Council, Gurdaspur to deposit the employer's share towards the pension fund of its employees. It is alleged that despite there being statutory obligation, the Municipal Council has failed to deposit its own share towards the pension fund. In this regard, the petitioner-Union is said to have served the respondents with legal notices dated 9.6.2009 and 1.2.2011 (Annexures P- 2 & P-6) but without any response thereto. It is also averred that after this Court issued directions to the respondents vide order dated 15.7.2010 passed in Civil Writ Petition No.12308 of 2010 (Municipal Employees Union, Municipal Council, Qadian versus State of Punjab and others), C.W.P.No .5987 of 2011 2 though respondent No.3 has issued general directions vide memo dated 10.12.2010 (Annexure P-5) but the respondent-Municipal Council is still reluctant to comply with the same. In these circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent Nos.2 to 4 to take action on the aforesaid legal notices of the petitioner-Union and dispose of its pending claim by passing a speaking order preferably within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. April 04, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
