The petitioner is working as a Senior Assistant in the Establishment Branch of Guru Nanak Dev Thermal Plant, Bathinda. He was denied payment of generation Incentive on the basis of the executive instructions dated 30.9.2002 (Annexure P1) though the said incentive used to be/is being paid to all the employees posted in the Bathinda Thermal Plant.

It appears that the executive instructions dated 30.09.2002 (Annexure P1) have been withdrawn with retrospective effect vide subsequent order dated CWP No.10541 of 2009.doc - 2 – 12.11.2003 (Annexure P3). That being so, there is apparently no reason to treat the petitioner differently. (3). The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the respondents to re-consider the petitioner’s claim for payment of Generation Incentive from the due date and if he is otherwise found eligible and suitable, release the same to him with consequential benefits within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.
