IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. 4613 of 2002. Date of Decision: 08th May, 2008. State of Punjab ....Petitioner through Mr. G.S.Attariwala, Addl.AG, Punjab. Versus Dalbir Singh ...Respondent through Mr. Ashok Sharma, Advocate. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 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) This Civil Writ Petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India, the State of Punjab seeks quashing of the Award dated 29th September, 2001 passed by the Lok Adalat of this Court in CWP NO. 3060 of 1990. Vide the impugned award, the respondent has been held entitled to the selection grade and proficiency step-up and as a consequential thereto, the revised retiral benefits also. It is fairly stated by learned counsel for the respondent that since the Lok Adalat has decided his writ petition on merits, apparently without the express consent of the petitioner – State, the impugned award passed by the Lok Adalat can not sustain in law. In view of the afore-stated stand taken by learned counsel for the respondent, this writ petition is allowed, the impugned award dated 25th September, 2001 passed by the Lok Adalat whereby CWP No. 3060 of 1990 was disposed of, is set aside. As a consequence thereof, CWP NO. 3060 of 1990 stands revived. It is stated by learned counsel for the parties that the pleadings in CWP No. 3060 of 1990 are complete. Registry is directed to list the said writ petition for final disposal on 11th July, 2008. May 08, 2008. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
