IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 17532 of 2009. [O&M] Date of Decision: 17th May, 2010. R.S.Gulati Petitioner through Mr. G.S.Sathi, Advocate Versus State of Punjab & Ors. Respondents through Mr. B.S.Chahal, DAG, Punjab. Mr. Naresh Prabhakar, 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] The petitioner is aggrieved at the order dated 10.7.2000 [Annexure P-1] whereby his pay has been re-fixed by withdrawing the benefit of pay fixation on revision of pay scales w.e.f. 1.1.1996. The petitioner is also aggrieved at the consequential recovery order and claim that the said service benefit has been wrongly withdrawn. So far as challenge to the recovery is concerned, learned counsel for the parties are ad-idem that the controversy is squarely answered in favour of the petitioners by a Full Bench decision of this Court in Budh Ram v State of Haryana & Ors. 2009[3] PLR, 511. Consequently, the recovery orders are hereby quashed. Recovery, if any, effected from the petitioners, shall be refunded preferably within a period of four months from the date a certified copy of this order is received. Adverting to the contention that the petitioner's pay was rightly fixed on revision of pay scales w.e.f. 1.1.1996, vide order dated 31.03.2010 passed in CWP No. 11289 of 2009 [Tarlochan Singh Bedi v State of Punjab & Ors.] this Court has constituted an Officers'-Committee to look into such like claims which essentially requires verification of individual facts. Qua the afore-stated relief, the writ petition is accordingly disposed of by relegating the petitioner to rake up his claim before the Officers'-Committee, who shall consider the claim of the petitioner and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of four months from the date a certified copy of this order is received. Disposed of. Dasti. May 17, 2010. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
