IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.13061 of 2010 Date of Decision : July 27, 2010. Surinder Kumar and another .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.R.C.Chatrath, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 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) Notice of motion to respondent Nos.1 to 3 only at this stage. Mr.K.D.S.Sidhu, Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on their behalf. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass there is no need to issue notice to respondent No.4 nor there is any necessity to seek counter-reply from respondent Nos.1 to 3 at this stage. The petitioners are stated to be working as Clerk and J.B.T. Teacher, respectively with respondent No.4-Aided School. They seek a mandamus to direct the respondents to release their pay which is said to have not been paid from April, 2007 onwards. It is alleged that the petitioners have already represented the respondent-authorities many a C.W.P.No .13061 of 2010 2 times besides serving with a legal notice dated 1.5.2010 (Annexure P-4), but nothing has been done so far. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition and the nature of urgency, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to respondent Nos.2 & 3 to immediate take notice of the legal notice dated 1.5.2010 (Annexure P-4) served on behalf of the petitioners and release the arrears of their pay (may be directly in their accounts instead of through Management), within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. The petitioners shall also be entitled to interest @ 6% per annum on the arrears of undisputed salary. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. July 27, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
