To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? SURYA KANT, J. [ORAL] This writ petition has been filed by the management of S.D.D.R.S.D.College, Pathankot seeking quashing of the order dated 14.01.1999 passed by the Presiding Officer, State College Tribunal whereby respondent No. 4 has been ordered to be re-instated in service w.e.f. 10.04.1081 with all consequential benefits. Having regard to the checkered history of the unfortunate litigation between the parties and the fact that during the intervening period, respondent No. 4 has already attained the age of superannuation, the parties have been persuaded to amicably resolve the long pending dispute. In terms thereof, the Management had agreed to pay a lump-sum amount of `20 lacs to respondent No. 4 and the same has been paid today by way of Cheque Nos. 090541 and 092454 dated 29.03.2011. Respondent No. 4 has also agreed to accept the afore- stated lump-sum amount as full and final settlement of his entire claim. In this view of the matter, the impugned order dated 14.01.1999 passed by the Presiding Officer, State College Tribunal is hereby set aside. It is directed that respondent No. 4 shall not be entitled to claim anything else against the petitioners in respect of the services rendered by him as Lecturer. The petitioners shall also be at liberty to seek reimbursement or adjustment of the amount paid to the respondent No. 4 in the grant-in-aid received from the State Government, if so permissible under the Rules/Grant-in-Aid Scheme. Disposed of. Dasti. May 27, 2011. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
