Scheme on completion of 16/24/32 years of service. It is said to have been denied to them on account of their forgoing promotions. The petitioners rely upon two decisions of this Court passed in Civil Writ Petition No. 19614 of 2009 Promila Aggarwal V. State of Punjab (Annexure P-3) and CWP No. 21287 of 2010 Ram Kumar Kapoor V. The State of Punjab and others (Annexure P-4) in support of their above-stated claim. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, it appears that no reply is required to be filed by the respondents as the writ petition, at this stage, can be disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioners for the grant of A.C.P. scales keeping in view the two decisions of this Court cited above, within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.
