Civil Rev. No. 3465 of 2009(O&M) 1 IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT, CHANDIGARH Civil Rev. No. 3465 of 2009(O&M) Date : 1.7.2009 State of Punjab and others Petitioner vs Mr. Randhir Singh and others Respondent Present Mr. N.S.Pawar, Addl.A.G.Punjab M.M.S.BEDI,J. State of Punjab has filed this revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India challenging the order dated 4.3.2009 (Annexure P-3) passed by the Civil Judge (Jr.Divn.), Pathankot whereby the petitioner-State has been directed to release the arrears of difference of enhanced shift allowance as per letters dated 16.8.1989 and 7.12.1998 as per the judgment and decree dated 7.2.2002 (Annexure P-1) with interest @ 12% per annum within three months from the date of the order. The main contention of the learned State counsel is that the respondents are not entitled to any arrears of difference of shift allowance as per letter dated 16.8.1989 as quoted in the judgment as the Government has revised the shift allowance of engineering staff, which includes Executive Engineers, S.D.Os and J.Es. only. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and going through the judgment and decree dated 7.2.2002 (Annexure P-1), I am of the opinion that the judgment and decree became final qua the respondents on 7.2.2002 as no appeal was filed by the State against the same. I have also considered the contention of the learned State counsel Civil Rev. No. 3465 of 2009(O&M) 2 that no rate of interest was mentioned by the trial court vide order dated 7.2.2002 (Annexure P-1) but after hearing learned State counsel at length and going through the judgment and decree dated 7.2.2002 (Anneuxre P- 1), which has been sought to be executed by the respondents by the impugned order dated 4.3.2009 (Annexure P-3), I am of the opinion that no ground is made out for interference in the order as the perusal of the judgment and decree dated 7.2.2002 (Annexure P-1) indicates that interest @ 12% per annum from the due date till realisation has been ordered by the trial court. The rate of interest having not been challenged and the judgment and decree having become final, there is no scope for interference. Dismissed. July 1 ,2009 ( M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
